In a decisive move, Australia has barred the Chinese technology company DeepSeek from employing its services on government systems and devices, citing national security concerns as reported by Global Times. The Australian administration identified DeepSeek as an ‘unacceptable risk’ to governmental operations, prompting the removal of the Chinese AI chatbot from all federal computers and mobile devices. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke highlighted that the ban was implemented because of security threats rather than the app’s country of origin, according to reports from Global Times.
