The Personal Information Protection Commission says that AI Model sent personal data to the cloud based on Beijing.
The data protection guard of South Korea accused Deepseek, the Chinese company whose artificial chatbot intelligence took the technological scene by assault earlier this year, or transferred personal data without the consent of the users.
The Personal Information Protection Commission said Thursday that Depseek had been transferring information to several companies in China and the United States before its AI of Chatgpt AI was eliminated from application stores in February, waiting for a privacy review.
NAM Seok, director of the commission’s investigation office, said the duration is a press conference that the application had sent user information and information and networks information at a Beijing -based cloud service called Volcano Engine.
Deepseek “acknowledged that he had insufficiently consulted the Korean data protection laws” and “expressed his willingness to cooperation with the commission and voluntarily suspended new downloads,” said Toade.
Depseek did not immediately respond to a comment request.
After the South Korean surveillance announcement, the China Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it gave a high level of importance to the privacy and data security.
“We never demand, and we never demand that companies or individuals collect or store data through illegal means,” said Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun, a regular press conference.
The Deepseek R1 described a sensation in January after its developers published a research work claiming that they spent less than $ 6 million in computer energy to train the fraction of model A of the budgets of the multimillionaires of American technological giants Suchants Openi and Google.
The appearance of a Chinese startup capable of rivaling the main players of Silicon Valley defies the assumptions about the mastery of the United States in AI and caused the scrutiny of the assessments of the market of companies such as NVIDIA and Meta.
Marc Andreessen, one of the most influential technological risk capitalists in Silicon Valley, praised Deepseek’s model as “Sputnik moment of AI”.
