In Italy, the authority has, among other things, requested which data Deepseek has used and uses to "train" the model, and to what extent users are informed about how their data is used.

The French equivalent also states that it will ask questions to Deepseek to better understand how the chatbot works and potential risks related to personal data protection.

It was over the weekend that the world seriously became aware of the Chinese chat robot, which is said to be almost as good as American counterparts like Chat GPT, but was developed at significantly lower costs.
