South Korea Suspends New Downloads of Chinese AI App DeepSeek

South Korea's data protection authority has suspended new downloads of the Chinese AI app DeepSeek due to privacy law violations. The app's web service remains accessible, but downloads are blocked until compliance is ensured. Italy had previously taken similar action. DeepSeek has appointed legal representatives but has yet to fully address concerns.

"Vance came out swinging today, implying — exactly as the big companies might have hoped he might – that any regulation around AI was “excessive regulation” that would throttle innovation.

In reality, the phrase “excessive regulation” is sophistry. Of course in any domain there can be “excessive regulation”, by definition. What Vance doesn’t have is any evidence whatsoever that the US has excessive regulation around AI; arguably, in fact, it has almost none at all. His warning about a bogeyman is a tip-off, however, for how all this is going to go. The new administration will do everything in its power to protect businesses, and nothing to protect individuals.

As if all this wasn’t clear enough, the administration apparently told the AI Summit that they would not sign anything that mentioned environmental costs or “existential risks” of AI that could potentially going rogue.

If AI has significant negative externalities upon the world, we the citizens are screwed."

"While many politicians are focused on shielding #democracy from the worst aspects of #AI, #AudreyTang is experimenting with how to use it to enhance democracy—particularly in terms of #AIregulation. Earlier this year, she collaborated with the #CollectiveIntelligence Project to introduce Alignment Assemblies. The #onlineforums enable ordinary citizens to weigh in on the uses, ethics, regulation, and impact surrounding #AI."

Unlike other tech CEOs OpenAI's Sam Altman has publicly called for AI regulation. Yet, according to documents obtained by TIME, the company has been lobbying officials to make amendments to the EU's AI Act and appears to have successfully sidestepped stringent legal requirements "high risk" AI systems will be subject to.
