The DeepSeek AI model is facing growing scrutiny over its security vulnerabilities and ethical implications, leading to government bans in Australia, South Korea, and Taiwan, as well as for NASA employees in the US. Cisco researchers found DeepSeek fails to screen out malicious prompts and Dario Amodei of Anthropic has expressed concern over its ability to provide bioweapons-related information.
DeepSeek's lack of adequate guardrails has enabled the model to generate instructions on creating chemical weapons, and even planning terrorist attacks. Furthermore, DeepSeek has been accused of misrepresenting its training costs, with SemiAnalysis estimating that the company invested over $500 million in Nvidia GPUs alone, despite export controls. There are claims the US is investigating whether DeepSeek is acquiring these GPUs through gray market sales via Singapore.
