Italy’s data watchdog has questions for DeepSeek

ROME: Italy’s Data Protection Agency, which briefly blocked ChatGPT in 2023, has raised questions about the use of personal data by the AI chatbot of Chinese startup DeepSeek.

“The authority, considering the potential high risk for the data of millions of people in Italy, has asked… what personal data is collected, from which sources, for which purposes,” the GPDP said in a statement Tuesday.
