Australia prohibits the Deepseek IA program on Govt devices

“After considering an analysis of threats and risks, I determined that the use of Deepseek web products, applications and web services poses an unacceptable level of security for the Australian government,” said the secretary of the secretary of Ministry of Internal Affairs, Stephanie Foster, in the directive.

On Wednesday, all non-corporate Commonwealth entities must “identify and delete all existing bodies of existing products, applications and web services on all Australian government systems and mobile devices,” she added.

The directive also required that “access, use or installation of Deepseek products” be prevented through government systems and mobile devices.

Action is the last of governments around the world that have highlighted the services of the Chinese startup.

Deepseek brought alarms last month when she said that her new R1 chatbot corresponds to the capacity of artificial intelligence rhythm sets in the United States for a fraction of the cost.

In particular, he sent the Silicon Valley to a frenzy, some calling for his high performance and supposed at low cost for us, developers. Some experts have accused Deepseek of retro-inverse engineering of the ability to direct American technology, such as the food of AI Chatgpt.

Technological and commercial spates between China and Australia go back to years, because the two Asian nations have experienced their worst relations in relations for decades.

In 2018, Australia prohibited the Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei from its 5G national network, citing national security problems.

Beijing was rabid by Huawei de Canberra’s decision, with his repression against Chinese operations of foreign influence and an appeal to an investigation into the origins of the Pandemic COVID-19.

A trade war of several billion dollars raged between Canberra and Beijing, but finally cooled at the end of last year, when China lifted its final barrier, the ban on imports from Australian lobsters in living rock.
