‘Is DeepSeek the TikTok of AI?’ Rajeev Chandrasekhar raises data concerns, netizens say: ‘distraction, think big’
Live MintAmid concerns raised by a social media user on X, that Chinese start-up DeepSeek is storing customer data, former union minister and BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar asked if the AI dark horse is destined for a treatment similar to its Chinese TikTok in the United States. Chandrsekhar's post was triggered by a netizen's post that noted that DeepSeek's app disclosures state that it automatically collects user information, which is secured in servers located in China. As per the official ‘Automatically Collected Information’ details posted, the start-up automatically collects usage information including “internet or other network activity information such as your IP address, unique device identifiers, and cookies”. In terms of technical information, the app collects certain device and network connection information, such as “… your device model, operating system, keystroke patterns or rhythms, IP address, and system language”.
