The Privacy Guarantor has decided to ask for more information on the processing of the personal data of Deepseek, the artificial intelligence born in China who in two days has shocked the financial markets by doubting the primacy of the United States in this sector. Now the companies that manage the chatbot are 20 days to answer.
As we anticipated, Deepseek ended up under the lens of the Guarantor for the protection of personal data. In the late afternoon of January 29, the Guarantor released a press release in which he announces that he asked More information on the management of personal data by Chinese artificial intelligence that shocked the Big Tech market. According to the first information we have its founder is Liang Wenfeng.
Specifically, the Guarantor explained that at the moment there is a “possible risk for the data of millions of people in Italy”. And for this reason he sent a request for information to the two companies that are involved in the development of Deepseek: Hangzhou Deepseek Artificial Intelligence and Beijing Deepseek Artificial Intelligence.
What does the Privacy Guarantor now ask
The signs were several. The information on the Deepseek portal did not clearly explain where they were preserved The data collected by users which connected from Italy. In fact, the Guarantor asks for more information not only on the personal data collected but also on the type of processing and on the servers where they are kept.

Not only that. The guarantor asked to specify which data were used to train the artificial intelligence system. A system that, as we have already shown, also presents a certain attention to the censorship of the Beijing government, since it completely obscures some questions.
From today the two companies that manage Deepseek have 20 days of time To respond to the Privacy Guarantor. The risk is to follow the same path as Chatgpt in 2023: then the artificial intelligence of Openai had been blocked in Italy pending explanations on the use of user data.
