US lawmakers are considering banning Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) platform DeepSeek’s chatbot app from government devices due to concerns over potential data leaks.
CEO of Feroot Security Ivan Tsarynny joins Market Domination to share critical insights on the unfolding situation.
Tsarynny reveals that DeepSeek’s chatbot embeds instructions to send user information, including login details, to servers owned by China Mobile (which is owned by the Chinese government). “That is something we’ve never seen before,” he says.
“If you’re logging into [DeepSeek], you will get digitally fingerprinted,” he adds. “Everything that you provide into it, plus your digital fingerprint and your identity, they will be able to track you and tie your personal information to the queries that you submit, which is the first time we’ve ever seen being so personalized.”
Tsarynny explains that this raises national security concerns. “The risks that the bill will prevent or can prevent is potentially very sensitive information … it’s not just personal privacy risk, but also definitely there’s a possibility to national security risks,” he says.
