No more DeepSeek in Italy, at least for now. The Guarantor for the protection of personal data has ordered, as a matter of urgency and with immediate effect, the limitation of the processing of data of Italian users with respect to Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence and Beijing DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence, the Chinese companies that provide the DeepSeek chatbot service.

The limitation measure - adopted to protect the data of Italian users - follows the communication from the companies received today, the content of which was deemed completely insufficient . "Contrary to what was found by the Authority, the companies declared that they do not operate in Italy and that European legislation does not apply to them", reports the Guarantor who, in addition to ordering the limitation of the processing, has simultaneously opened an investigation.

DeepSeek, the Italian authority recalls, is the relational artificial intelligence software, designed to understand and process human conversations , which recently introduced on the world market has been downloaded by millions of people in just a few days.
