India Reviews DeepSeek AI Amid Privacy and Security Risks.
DeepSeek, a low-cost AI platform that’s making waves in the tech world, has sparked serious concerns about data security and its connections to China. With its growing popularity, the Indian government is paying close attention to the platform’s potential risks to national security and user privacy.
DeepSeek’s privacy policy reveals that it stores user data, including personal details and uploaded files on servers located in China. This has raised alarm bells because it goes against India’s push for keeping sensitive data within its borders.
India has a track record of taking a tough stance on Chinese apps and companies. TikTok and PUBG were banned over similar concerns, and telecom giants like Huawei and ZTE have been kept out of critical infrastructure projects. Experts believe DeepSeek might face a similar fate if it’s seen as a security threat.
