Chinese AI Firm Faces Ban as Italian Regulators Scrutinise Data Practices

I recently came across a thought-provoking article on The Hacker News that shed light on Italy’s latest move to block the Chinese AI firm, DeepSeek. The country’s data protection watchdog, the Garante, has halted access to DeepSeek’s services due to insufficient information regarding its use of personal data. Authorities raised questions over how user data is collected and stored, with the firm claiming that it doesn’t operate within Italy. This decision follows a similar temporary ban imposed on ChatGPT back in 2023.


It’s a fascinating example of how regulatory bodies are grappling with the rapid advancements in AI and the pressing need to protect personal privacy. For more detailed insights, you can read the full article on The Hacker News.
