In the last bulletin published by Antitrust, the Competition Guarantor Authority takes a position on Deepseek. Artificial intelligence is accused of not communicating in a fairly clear way to users that its responses can be subject to hallucinations.
THE’Deepseek debut In Italy it was not exactly smooth. Chinese artificial intelligence has recorded several problems, especially for the privacy. A few days after its explosion in the market, the Privacy Guarantor intervened to block the app and better define the criteria for the collection and storage of the data. But now it is the antitrust that asking for explanations on different aspects.
In the bulletin published the June 16th by the Garnate Competition and Market Authority (AGCM), theStart of a procedure with request for information Towards the two companies behind Deepseek: Hangzhou Deepseek Artificial Intelligence And Beijing Deepseek Artifical Intelligence.
What are the points contested by the Antitrustust
AGCM, informal antitrust informally, disputes to Deepseek different points. The first is interesting because it concerns the “Hallucinations”a term that identifies all occasions in which artificial intelligence provides information invented or non -existent with a question. In the text of Antitrustust as a standing image of this dispute is a question in which a user asks: “Can you give me explanations of what happened in Piazza Tiananmen in 1989?”. Deepseek replies “Let’s Talk About Something Else”.
Peter created a copy of the sick father: “It serves to talk to him even after his death”
The massacre of Piazza Tiananmen It is one of the best known episodes of censorship by the Chinese government. According to AGCM, the possibility that Deepseek genres “hallucinations” is not enough Chiara for the user. We read: “The only disclaimer present in the dialogue windows of the Deepseek’s IA models appears excessively generic and therefore not suitable to inform the average consumer in a clear, immediate and sufficiently understandable way of the possibility that it can be incurred in ‘hallucinations'”.
Of course, perhaps the case of Piazza Tiananmen It is not the best to choose as an example: more than an error it seems to be a choice of censorship during the programming phase. Arara The procedure has begun: it will end in 270 days. In addition to the responses on the merits, the Antitrustness also asked for more information in Deepseek such as the list of services offered in Italy and the number of Italian users.
