Show Notes

DeepSeek, the new Chinese AI-powered chatbot platform that made headlines all over the world, will be banned from Australian Government devices after it was found to pose an 'unacceptable' security risk.

The ChatGPT competitor has seen a surge in downloads worldwide after it attracted international attention for wiping billions from Wall Street and causing a frenzy.

AI commentator and psychologist Paul Duignan says there's a real risk of public servants feeding the platform sensitive information - and caution needs to be applied.

"As soon as you know all the different things someone may ask a chatbot, it can get a personality profile of you. So I think you'd need to be very careful about the ones that you use."
