China’s DeepSeek rocked the world of AI this week, but beyond questions about how the company actually developed its model, fresh concerns about its data collection practices and potential national security implications are popping up.
Wired reports that the rapid rise of DeepSeek, a generative artificial intelligence platform created by a prominent Chinese hedge fund, has sparked both excitement and concern among industry experts and policymakers. The platform’s open-source AI model has quickly gained traction, rivaling top US-based platforms like those developed by OpenAI. However, as more users flock to DeepSeek, the company’s data collection practices and ties to China have come under increased scrutiny.
