Taiwan Joins the DeepSeek AI Block Party – Security Concerns or Just FOMO?
Taiwan bans DeepSeek AI, citing security risks. The platform, suspected of data leaks and susceptible to jailbreaks, faces scrutiny globally. Despite its capabilities, it’s now the comedic equivalent of a “Do Not Enter” sign for governments.
Hot Take:
Ah, Taiwan, always the trendsetter! Now even AI platforms aren’t safe from their watchful eye. Forget the ‘Great Firewall of China’; it’s time for the ‘Great AI Ban of Taiwan.’ It’s a digital soap opera where countries are blocking AI platforms like they’re exes on social media. Who knew national security could be so dramatic?
Key Points:
- Taiwan bans DeepSeek’s AI platform due to security concerns, joining the likes of Italy.
- DeepSeek’s open-source model attracts attention but raises censorship and jailbreak concerns.
- DeepSeek targeted by DDoS attacks, primarily from the U.S., U.K., and Australia.
- Malicious actors exploit DeepSeek’s popularity to distribute fake Python packages.
- EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act and U.K.’s AI Code of Practice aim to regulate high-risk AI applications.
