Taiwan's Ministry of Digital Affairs has banned public sector employees from using DeepSeek due to fears of data leaks to the Chinese government. The ban encompasses workers across government agencies and critical infrastructure projects, citing national security risks. The U.S. Congress has similarly barred its employees from using DeepSeek, cautioning against the app's association with distributing malicious software. The recent release of DeepSeek's AI model has sparked worldwide tech debates, although worries persist about its data management and security ramifications.
