DeepSeek: Deepseek, a low -cost AI platform, which is in a lot of discussion in the tech world these days, has been engulfed in controversies over data security and its relations related to China. Amid its increasing popularity, the Government of India is paying special attention to the possible threats of this platform, which can threaten national security and user privacy.
Why are concerns increasing about Deepseek AI in India?
Deepsek’s privacy policy has shown that it stores users’ private data, including personal information and uploaded files, stores on servers located in China. It goes against the policy of keeping India’s important data inside the country, which has increased the concern of the government and cyber security experts.
India has already taken strict action against Chinese apps and companies. Tiktok and PUBG were banned due to similar security concerns, while Chinese companies like Huawei and ZTE are excluded from telecom infrastructure projects. Experts believe that if Deepsek is also considered a threat to national security, it may also face a ban.
Errors and incorrect information in Deepseek’s AI model
Since the launch of Deepsek, questions are being raised on its AI model. Users have reported that it many times gives wrong or misleading information related to Indian states. A similar problem was earlier seen in Google’s AI platform Gemini. This is a big challenge, because the AI models are not completely reliable and can spread misinformation many times.
AI regulation and Deepsek challenges in India
Indian regulatory organizations have not yet decided how to control the legal aspects of AI platforms. An important case is pending in the Delhi High Court, in which the question has been raised to what extent the Indian courts can control global AI companies. In addition, Deepsek’s data policy does not match India’s upcoming “Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025”, which are being created to strengthen data security laws.
Cyber attack and rising monitoring on Deepseek
Deepsek recently faced a cyber attack, after which it limited access to users outside China. Despite this, the AI Assistant of Deepseek has become quite popular, as it has been developed at a much lower cost compared to its competitors. Experts believe that the government should implement strict rules of data localization so that user data and national interests can be protected. Government’s decision can affect the future of AI companies
“If Deepseek serves users in India, serious concerns about data security and privacy may arise,” says Lalu John Philip, founder of Boolean Legal. The Government of India’s decision on Deepsek can decide how cross-border AI platforms will be controlled in future.
Keeping in mind the AI and cyber security policies of India, the future of Deepsek seems to be hanging in the balance. If it is considered a threat to national security, it can also be banned like other Chinese apps.
