Analysis: DeepSeek’s AI is giving the world a window into Chinese censorship and information control

CNN  

Hong Kong CNN — Previously little-known Chinese startup DeepSeek has dominated headlines and app charts in recent days thanks to its new AI chatbot, which sparked a global tech sell-off that wiped billions off Silicon Valley’s biggest companies and shattered assumptions of America’s dominance of the tech race. It’s a similar patten when asking the R1 bot – DeepSeek’s newest model – “what happened in Hong Kong in 2019,” when the city was rocked by pro-democracy protests. When asked about its sources, DeepSeek’s R1 bot said it used a “diverse dataset of publicly available texts,” including both Chinese state media and international sources. “But it’s just that in this case, chances are that a Chinese company embedded values into their policy.” Security concerns There have also been questions raised about potential security risks linked to DeepSeek’s platform, which the White House on Tuesday said it was investigating for national security implications. Unlike TikTok, which says as of July 2022 it stores all American data in the US, DeepSeek says in its privacy policy that personal information it collects is stored in “secure servers located in the People’s Republic of China.” A comparison of privacy policies between DeepSeek and some of its US competitors also show concerning differences, according to Snoswell.
