Australia has decided to ban the download of artificial intelligence software from Chinese startup DeepSeek on government devices.
According to authorities, such a decision was made because they could pose an "unacceptable level of security risk," according to a directive from the Australian Department of Home Affairs.
DeepSeek programs will be removed from all Australian Government fixed and mobile devices, Home Affairs Minister Stephanie Foster wrote in the directive.
The attention drawn to the artificial intelligence program created by the new Chinese technology company DeepSeek stirred up stock markets in late January and ignited debates about economic and geopolitical competition between the United States and China in the development of artificial intelligence technology.
The company's assistant app became the No. 1 downloaded app on Apple's iPhones, fueled by curiosity about the ChatGPT competitor. Part of the worry for some U.S. tech watchers is the idea that a new Chinese company could overtake U.S. companies at the forefront of artificial intelligence innovation at a fraction of the cost.
