A security firm has discovered that DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, has direct links to Chinese government servers. The finding raises concerns about the potential for data collection and surveillance, as well as the company's ties to the Chinese government.
The security firm found that DeepSeek's systems were communicating with servers owned by the Chinese government, including the Chinese Ministry of Public Security. This suggests that DeepSeek may be sharing data or receiving guidance from the Chinese government.
The discovery has sparked concerns about the potential risks of using DeepSeek's AI technology, particularly in sensitive industries such as finance, healthcare, and defense. The finding also highlights the need for greater transparency and oversight of AI companies and their ties to governments.
