After California, DeepSeek makes the EU nervous

The new Chinese AI model DeepSeek R1 is making waves worldwide as the start up behind it says it runs at a fraction of the cost of all existing models on the market.

That seems impressive. Or sort of.

In the EU, at least eleven member states have promptly reacted to the launch, demanding the platform clarification on its privacy policy. Brussels’ investigation, on the other hand, has yet to reach conclusions.

What rules could the Chinese startup be in violation of? Where does the data go?

In this episode, host Giada Santana and tech reporter Claudie Moreau ask DeepSeek some of these questions directly and analyse what measures Brussels can implement to protect users.
