Researchers say China's DeepSeek chatbot is linked to state telecom, raising data privacy concerns
Wednesday, 5 February 2025 () Security researchers say the website of the Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek has computer code that could send some user login information to a Chinese state-owned telecommunications company that's been barred from operating in the United States. DeepSeek's chatbot became the most downloaded app in the United States.
