In a bold move, Italy's data protection authority, Garante, has announced the immediate blockade of the Chinese artificial intelligence model known as DeepSeek. The decision stems from concerns surrounding the model's handling of personal data.
The announcement was made public through a note on Garante's official website. The authority had previously, on Tuesday, requested clarification from DeepSeek regarding its data practices.
Despite these requests, the AI model's failure to provide sufficient information led to the implementation of the blockade, highlighting Italy's firm stance on data privacy issues.
