South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) is set to question DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence model, about its data privacy practices. A PIPC official confirmed Friday that a written request would be sent to DeepSeek’s operators to clarify how they handle users’ personal information.
The investigation comes amid growing global scrutiny of AI-driven data collection. Regulators in France, Italy, and Ireland have already launched inquiries into DeepSeek’s data usage, reflecting broader concerns about AI privacy risks. As AI models become more advanced, governments worldwide are tightening regulations to protect user data from potential misuse.
South Korea, known for its stringent data protection laws, has been proactive in holding tech companies accountable for privacy compliance. The country has previously imposed fines and restrictions on global tech firms for violations related to personal information handling. With AI-driven technologies expanding rapidly, authorities are emphasizing the need for transparency in data collection and processing.
DeepSeek, a rising AI player in China, has been gaining attention for its capabilities, but its data policies are now under intense regulatory review. The PIPC’s request aims to assess whether the AI model complies with South Korea’s strict data protection laws. The findings could influence future regulatory measures and set a precedent for AI governance in the country.
With multiple nations investigating DeepSeek, AI privacy concerns continue to escalate. The outcome of these inquiries may shape global AI regulations and impact how AI developers handle user data moving forward.
