DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, has halted the downloads of its chatbot apps in South Korea following privacy concerns raised by local authorities. The Personal Information Protection Commission of South Korea removed DeepSeek's apps from major app stores while the company collaborates with them to enhance privacy safeguards. Users who already have the app are advised to refrain from sharing personal data. Concerns about the AI's data collection practices have led to many institutions blocking its use, highlighting a significant scrutiny over its operations in the region.
South Korea's Personal Information Protection Commission confirmed that DeepSeek's chatbot apps have been temporarily removed as the company addresses privacy concerns.
Nam Seok of the South Korean commission indicated that DeepSeek's lack of transparency regarding data transfers raised significant privacy issues.
