Australia's science minister, Ed Husic, has become the first member of a Western government to raise privacy concerns about DeepSeek, the Chinese chatbot causing turmoil on the markets and in the tech industry.

The rising popularity of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI platform, has raised data privacy concerns. While Australia has asked users to be cautious, Italy’s Data Protection Agency has posed questions about how the chatbot uses personal data.

Prominent technology chiefs offer their views on the sudden rise of DeepSeek: it’s a game changer, competition is good and expect more market gyrations.
