The jury is still out of whether the Chinese DEPSEEK Chinese International is a game of changing or part of Detailed Through the parent company to hedge it to the short NVIDIA and other technical stocks. Which may be (perhaps both?), Dibsic and the Great Language model made some major waves. Now, it draws the attention of data protection monitoring.
Today, the Irish Data Protection Committee confirmed to Techcrunch that it had sent a note to Deepseek, asking for details of how to process citizens’ data in Ireland by the company. A spokesman for the Data Protection Committee (DPC) wrote to Deepseek requesting information about data processing conducted regarding data topics in Ireland.
A message from DPA was sent in Ireland less than 24 hours after the Data Protection Control Authority in Italy sent a similar note to the company. Deepseek has yet to respond to any request publicly. However, its mobile phone application in both Google and Apple apps in Italy is no longer.
It seems that this Italian move is the first major step of one of this monitoring because Deepseek has become a positive virus in recent days, and the owners of Monsomon, an alliance of consumer groups in Europe, have complained to the Italian Data Protection Authority related to how Deepseek deals with personal data regarding gross domestic productOrganizational Frame for Data Protection in Europe.
the Italian DPA confirmed today Then I wrote to Deepseek with a request for information. A Rischio I Dati Di Milioni Di Persone in ITALIA, “he noticed. (“Millions of Italians are at risk.) Deepseek 20 days to respond.
Main details about Deepseek that many have noticed is that the service is provided and operates outside China. per privacy policyThis includes the information and data that Deepseek collects and its shops, which are also found in her mother country.
Deepsik also notes in a briefly noticing in its policy that when data is transferred to China from the country where Deepseek is used, she does this “according to the requirements of the applicable data protection laws.”
But Monsomon – the organization that brought A successful case against Grook Last year on how to use data to train artificial intelligence – Italian DPA wants more details.
In the treatment of its processing in Hangzhou Dempsic, artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence in Beijing Dembek, Dubai Ports said he wanted to know the personal data that is collected, and the sources, and its purposes – including the information used to train the artificial intelligence system – along with what legal sources are. The basis for treatment. He also wants more details about these servers in China.
Moreover, he writes in her information request, she wants to know “in case of collecting personal data through web bulldozing activities”, how users were registered “who are not registered with the service or are informed of the processing processing their data.”
News port Float It is also noted that the European Monsomon has highlighted that there are no details on how to protect or restrict minors to their services, from checking age to how to process palace data.
(Deepseek’s age policy notes that it is not intended for users under the age of 18, although it does not provide a way to impose this. For those between the ages of 14 and 18 adults.)
EuroConsumers and The ITALIAN WATCHDOG represented the first effort to move against Deepseek. It may not be the last, although the follow -up may not be fast.
Earlier today, Dibsic was a major topic at a press conference at the European Commission. Thomas Regney, spokesperson for the Technology Sovereignty Committee, was asked whether there are European level fears on Debsik related to security, privacy and control. At the present time, it seems that the main message is: It is too early to say anything about any investigations.
“The services provided in Europe will respect our rules,” Rignieh male In response to a question about data privacy, adding that the artificial intelligence law applies to all the services of artificial intelligence provided in the region.
He refused to say whether Dibsic, in the estimation of the European Union, respect these rules or not. Then he was asked whether the application control on sensitive issues in China stumbled on the rules of freedom of expression in Europe and if it deserved to be investigated. “These are very early stages, I am not talking about an investigation yet,” Rigner said quickly in answer. “Our frame is strong enough to address potential problems if they are here.”
Questions sent to ICO in the UK about Deepseek received a similar response: Deepseek, in fact, will be subject to the same scrutiny as any other Genai developer. But there are no other procedures yet.
A spokesman for the “artificial intelligence developers and publishers need to ensure that people have meaningful and bright and easily accessible information about using their personal data and have clear and effective operations to enable people to exercise their information rights.” “We will continue to deal with stakeholders to enhance effective transparency measures, without getting rid of taking action when our organizational expectations are ignored.”
Meanwhile, can the new ways for organizational interrogation open around areas such as copyright and IP protection?
Many people have marveled at how it seems that the presence of Deepseek challenges the assumptions about the actual costs of training and LLM operation or the gynecological service: it should cost the cheapest infrastructure and cost base.
But recently, some have begun to ask questions about all of this. Microsoft and Openai says it seems that there is evidence that it has been partially trained on “distillation” of ownership models. There will be a strange paradox about this if it proves to be correct – given a lot Legal dramas and other dramas that revolve around how some LLM builders consider intellectual property and copyright.
We have called Deepseek about the Italian DPA complaint and we will update this post with more information. Meanwhile, Deepseek apps are now withdrawn from the main Italian applications, although they still live online in the country.
It has been updated with more details about organizational responses, legal issues and service state in Italy.
