In India, the ministry of finance has banned the use of DeepSeek by its employees
The Indian Ministry of Finance has joined a number of other government organizations worldwide in prohibiting its staff from using DeepSeek. An increasing number of countries have prohibited DeepSeek use entirely or in part within their borders. Others have extended the restrictions to private persons as well, while others have prohibited their government officials from utilizing the AI chatbot.
Countries with full or government use ban on DeepSeek AI
Italy: As early as last month, Italy became the first nation in the world to outlaw the DeepSeek AI. The European nation’s app stores no longer carry the Chinese AI platform. The Italian Data Protection Authority (DPA), Italy’s privacy watchdog, requested details from the firm on how it handles user data, which led to the ban.
Taiwan: Although its laws have been rather stringent, Taiwan has not yet prohibited its private residents from utilizing the Chinese AI chatbot. The usage of DeepSeek AI in any public sector organizations is prohibited in the nation. Public schools, state-owned businesses, and all of the vital infrastructure in the country are likewise prohibited.
The Taiwan Ministry of Digital Affairs claims that it is worried about the possibility of information leaks and cross-border data transmission that the Chinese startup presents. China and Taiwan have been at odds over sovereignty for a long time. Taiwan is claimed as part of China’s territory.
