"Now, barriers are being introduced against the use of Deepseek on mobile phones, tablets, and PCs with access to the parliament's information and services", writes the parliament's administration in an email to Altinget.
The background to the Chinese AI service being stopped is a recommendation from the security authority NSM, which has urged Norwegian businesses not to allow Deepseek on IT systems with access to work-related systems.
In Denmark, the presidium of the Folketing decided on Thursday that politicians and officials in the Folketing should not use Deepseek on computers, tablets, and mobile phones provided by the administration.
The Chinese AI service Deepseek, which is based on open source code, took the tech world by surprise and caused Nvidia's stock to fall when its large chatbot app was presented on January 20. The relatively unknown company then released a model that is claimed to be on par with its American competitors, but which only cost a fraction to train.
The Swedish Riksdag administration states that they are following the issue, but that there are currently no plans to introduce any barriers or bans.
