The government said on Tuesday that Australia has banned Deepseek from all government devices, regarding concerns that the startup of artificial intelligence will bring security risks.
Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs said to all government agencies to “prevent the use or installation of DeepSeek products, applications, web services, and to delete all existing instances of DeepSeek products, applications, and web services. Issued an essential instruction.
Minister of Interior, Tony Bark, said Deep Shek brought “unacceptable risks” to government technology, and immediately banned it to “protect Australia’s national security and national interests.”
Prohibition does not lead to private citizens’ devices.
After the latest AI model of DeepSeek last month, high -tech stocks around the world have plummeted. This clearly costs some of the rival AI models and requires uniform chips, but questioned the huge investment in the western side of chip makers and data centers.
Australia’s decision to prohibit Deepseek is based on similar actions in Italy, but other countries in Europe and other places are considering AI companies.
Taiwan has banned the government sector from using DeepSeek’s AI services early this week.
The Australian Prime Minister Anthony Arbanese has been banned from the government of Tiktok, a Chinese social media app, two years ago, over security concerns.
