DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, has raised alarms due to its chatbot's potential data privacy issues. Researchers discovered that the chatbot's web login page contains code that could transmit user information to China Mobile, a state-owned telecom firm barred from operating in the U.S. This connection intensifies concerns about the security of sensitive data shared with generative AI systems.
