Australia has imposed a complete ban on the use of DPS in all government office devices and systems. According to the BBC, Australia has banned the app saying that this Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) technology poses a national security risk.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has issued a directive to prevent DeepSeek from being used in government offices in Australia, which has become famous all over the world after being released only two weeks ago. The ministry has announced the ban saying that its intelligence agencies have advised that it poses an unacceptable national risk.
According to the Guardian , Minister of Home Affairs Tony Burke mentioned that this app was not banned because it was of Chinese origin and said that it was banned because of the risk it could pose to the government and government assets. "The Albanian government is taking swift and decisive action for Australia's national security and national interests," Burke said, adding, "AI technology is full of possibilities and opportunities." But if our agencies identify a national security risk, the government will not hesitate to take action against it.
Government offices have instructed that the Ministry of Interior should submit a report as soon as possible, ensuring that the DeepSeek app is not running or installed on any device and that it will not be installed in the future. Two years ago, the Albanian government announced a nationwide ban on another well-known Chinese app, TikTok, citing security and privacy risks.
International stock markets were hit by the arrival of Chinese AI startup company DeepSeek. American technology companies such as Nvidia and Meta lost a large part of their market value in one day. AI-related stocks such as chipmaker Brainchip also fell in Australia.
