Chinese Artificial Intelligence Deepseek, who has become popular with his great achievements in recent weeks, was removed from the application stores in South Korea as of February 15th. South Korea’s Data Protection Authority Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) in a press release, the Chinese AI company after complying with local data protection laws will start again.

Users who have already downloaded the application will continue to use the application. It was also announced that Deepseek was prevented from South Korean government and military devices.

Deepseek acknowledges that South Korea does not fully consider data protection laws while offering the service globally. Therefore, it plans to cooperate with the PIPC and to make the necessary changes in accordance with the South Korean laws.

PIPC said that it would take some time to examine Deepseek. Previously, the six AI service, including Google, OpenAI and Microsoft, took about five months to examine the Six AI service. Therefore, this review, which will only include Deepseek, can be expected to take less time.

DATA SAFETY AND SITUATION IN OTHER COUNTRIES

In a statement to Techcrunch, PIPC said that Deepseek had discovered Korean users’ data to Tiktok’s mother -of -the -company ByTedance. Local users were warned not to enter their personal information.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun responded to South Korea’s Deepseek ban, and said that Beijing would not ask any company or person to hide or collect data illegally.

Last month, the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante) sent Deepseek a request for information on which data were trained and some other questions. Other countries such as Australia and Taiwan banned the application on government devices due to security concerns.
