Federal government bans Chinese AI startup DeepSeek on public service devices | National Post

The Canadian government has banned the use of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI chatbot, on government devices due to privacy concerns and potential data collection by the Chinese government. The ban follows similar actions by other countries, including South Korea, Australia, and Italy, and is part of a larger effort to protect sensitive information from foreign entities. The move highlights the ongoing competition between China and the U.S. in the AI sector and the potential risks associated with data collection by foreign governments.
