The University of Louisville has banned the use of the Chinese startup DeepSeek's AI model on its networks and devices due to significant privacy and security risks. This decision follows concerns that the AI chatbot collects extensive user data and does not comply with the university's cybersecurity policies. The ban aligns with similar restrictions imposed by several state governments on the use of DeepSeek in official capacities.
DeepSeek gained attention for its powerful AI model, developed at a fraction of the cost compared to American counterparts like ChatGPT. The university's action reflects a growing trend of scrutiny over foreign AI technologies, particularly those linked to potential national security threats. Experts highlight the risks associated with unencrypted data transmission and the implications of foreign government oversight on such technologies.
