“We never wanted to become subversive, and all this happened accidentally.& rdquo;
In July last year, after the DeepSeek V2 model was released, founder Liang Wenfeng answered this when asked. At that time, he would not have imagined that half a year later, DeepSeek would cross the ocean and become a haze in the entire Silicon Valley, or even become an important topic in the international game.
Since the beginning of 2025, DeepSeek has continued to grow in popularity around the world. Deepseek-V3 ranks first among open source models. After the launch of the DeepSeek app, it has become the champion of the free download rankings in the Apple App Store in the United States.
China AI companies such as Deepseek have successively made technological breakthroughs, which has aroused widespread international attention and discussion.Under the storm caused by Deepseek, AI anxiety is spreading around the world.
Multinational radical control
The United States was one of the first countries to adopt regulatory measures on AI technology. Since 2024, the U.S. government has continued to strengthen supervision and restrictions on AI technology. On the one hand, we will strengthen the standardization and standardized development of AI technology; on the other hand, the review and evaluation of AI technology will be more stringent.
According to US media reports,The U.S. Navy has asked personnel to avoid using the China company DeepSeek model in any form due to potential safety and ethical issues.Police team members are not allowed to use DeepSeek’s artificial intelligence (AI) for any work-related tasks or personal purposes.
NASA prohibits employees from sharing or uploading any agency data on DeepSeek products or services,NASA’s Security Operations Center has now banned the use of DeepSeek on agency-managed devices and networks. The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), which manages the Pentagon’s IT network, also took emergency action and internally blocked the DeepSeek website.
The U.S. government’s attack on DeepSeek has become even more radical. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said that the National Security Council is assessing the impact of China AI startup DeepSeek on national security.David Sachs, Trump’s nominated White House artificial intelligence consultant, even claimed in an interview that DeepSeek may have stolen U.S. intellectual property rights to rise.
Recently, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley also proposed a radical bill requiring the United States to strictly restrict China’s AI technology, and even make downloading and using China AI models (such as DeepSeek) illegal. Violators will face up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to US$100 million.
In addition, government officials and relevant department heads from Australia, South Korea, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Japan, Italy, Germany and other countries also expressed their cautious stance on DeepSeek.
AustraliaThe government recently stated that the Minister of the Interior has issued mandatory instructions to all government entities,Require the prevention of the use or installation of DeepSeek products, applications and web services and the removal of all existing DeepSeek products, applications and web services from all Australia government systems and devices;He also stated that DeepSeek poses an unacceptable risk to government technology and that the ban was immediately implemented to protect Australia’s national security and national interests.
South KoreaThe Ministry of Industry, Trade and Resources said it has temporarily banned employees from visiting China’s artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek due to security concerns. same time,At present, many South Korean public institutions and private companies have issued bans on DeepSeek on the grounds of excessive collection of user information.
Among them, South Korean IT giant Kakao announced that employees are prohibited from using DeepSeek at work; South Korean mobile operator LGU+ prohibits the use of DeepSeek on the intranet and recommends that employees try to avoid using DeepSeek on personal computers; South Korea Hydropower and Nuclear Power Company (Hydroelectric and Nuclear Power Company) issued a DeepSeek ban on the 1st. South Korean search portal NAVER is discussing whether to disable DeepSeek. Major large companies such as Samsung Electronics, SK, and LG Electronics have long used self-developed generated AI models and prohibited the installation of unapproved external software on company computers.
On the 31st of last month, South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission sent a query letter to DeepSeek headquarters to confirm its personal information collection projects and procedures, as well as processing and storage methods. Recently, the South Korean government will establish a new 34 trillion won (approximately RMB 171 billion) cutting-edge strategic industry fund under the Industrial Bank to support the development of AI and semiconductor technology in the country.
BritishScience and Technology Minister Peter Kyle recently said thatThe DeepSeek chatbot is being evaluated to ensure its security.
FranceData watchdog, the National Council for Information and Freedom (CNIL), saidDeepSeek officials will be asked to understand how its AI chat robot operates and the risks associated with data protection.
GermanyThe personal data protection department plans to investigate DeepSeek. A personal data protection specialist believes that from the perspective of personal data protection regulations, DeepSeek’s measures are insufficient in all aspects. rdquo;
ItalyThe Personal Data Protection Bureau said it had urgently ordered restrictions on China’s DeepSeek’s AI platform from accessing Italian user personal data, and sent letters to DeepSeek’s companies in Hangzhou and Beijing requesting that information be obtained and used within 20 days.Since then, DeepSeek has been removed from Apple and Google App Stores in Italy.
The Irish Data Protection Commission stated that DeepSeek will be required to provide information on the processing of Irish user data.
JapanPrime Minister Shigeru Ishiba expressed his intention to formulate a basic plan for the use of generative AI.Former Japan’s Defense Minister, current chairman of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party’s security investigation, and Rep. Goori Onodera also expressed concerns about the AI services of China’s emerging company DeepSeek.
India’s DeepSeek’s AI model has raised security concerns. In response, the Indian government said it will require DeepSeek to store the collected data on servers in India.
Ban fails, international giants collectively embrace DeepSeek
However, under the ban, major international leading technology companies have begun to rapidly embrace change and have connected Deep Seek to their products.
On January 25, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) announced that it has integrated the DeepSeek-V3 model onto the AMD Instinct MI300X GPU to achieve extreme performance supported by SGLang technology.
On January 29, Microsoft announced that DeepSeek-R1 is available on Azure AI Foundry and GitHub.Developers can use the new model to test and build cloud-based applications and services. Microsoft said DeepSeek-R1 can be accessed on a trustworthy, scalable and enterprise-ready platform, allowing companies to seamlessly integrate advanced AI while meeting SLAs, security and responsible AI commitments.
On January 30, NVIDIA announced on its official website that the DeepSeek-R1 model can be used as a preview version of NVIDIA NIM microservices.Said the model provides state-of-the-art reasoning capabilities for tasks that require logical reasoning, mathematics, coding and language understanding, high reasoning efficiency and leading accuracy.
Starting January 30, Amazon AWS users can deploy the DeepSeek-R1 model in Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker AI.
It is worth noting that during the DeepSeek storm, OpenAI, another high-profile company, said on January 29 that there was evidence that DeepSeek used OpenAI proprietary models to train its own models, and suggested that this may violate OpenAI’s Terms of Service.
According to Deutsche Welle, OpenAI CEO Altman had changed his tone when he made a public speech on February 3, saying that there were no plans to sue DeepSeek:“The company will continue to build great products and lead the world with its modeling capabilities, which I think will be great.Altman also praised DeepSeek as an undoubtedly impressive model and expressed pleasure at having a new competitor.
Domestic, currentlyMu Xi, Tiantian Zhixin, Moore Thread, Haiguang InformationSeven domestic cloud computing giants, including Huawei Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Tianyi Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and Baidu Intelligent Cloud,Wuwen Core Dome, Silicon-based Flow, PPIO Pai Ouyun, 360 Digital Security, Cloud Axis TechnologyOther leading companies in the AI ecosystem have announced the adaptation and launch of DeepSeek model services.
AlthoughThe international ban on selling the most advanced chips and chip manufacturing equipment to China has been tightened many times, but successive measures seem to have failed to curb China’s development in this field as expected.Relevant data shows that DeepSeek App has reached 20 million daily active users in 20 days after its launch. DAU of daily active users surpassed Chatgpt on the fifth day. And,As of February 3, DeepSeek’s apps ranked first in the global mobile download rankings in 140 markets.
At present, many relevant foreign organizations and institutions have also realized that the usual ban methods are completely unable to block DeepSeek. Catherine Sobek, a Bloomberg columnist who focuses on Asian technology trends, wrote:DeepSeek chose to open source its big model and even published a paper sharing in considerable detail and transparency how they built the big model. This means that even if the United States can block DeepSeek’s mobile and web applications, DeepSeek’s big model, ideas and code have been integrated into artificial intelligence communities around the world and are widely used by programmers, including the United States.
What is the technology circle anxious about?
The storm of Deepseek, with its unique technological breakthroughs and extensive application potential, has forced governments, enterprises, relevant practitioners and even ordinary people to re-examine key issues such as the AI industry’s industrial landscape, data security and future social development. As a result,It has brought new anxiety to the change and innovation of the global AI industry, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
In terms of technology,The rise of China AI companies such as Deepseek has put pressure on many countries and companies.With its unique algorithms and training methods, Deepseek breaks the traditional technical route of stacking hardware and data that Silicon Valley has long dominated. This efficiency revolution has given start-ups more choices, while also shaking the technology first-mover advantage of technology giants.
Under the challenge, some key players began to worry about the erosion of their leading position and competitive advantage in the AI field, and instead began to adopt strategies such as blocking and restricting in an attempt to consolidate their position as standard setters and voice leaders, in an attempt to delineate the power map of the global market and ensure that they maximize their own interests in the future intelligent era.
But in fact, DeepSeek, with its combination of low cost and openness, is accelerating the universalization and benefits of AI, opening up a new path for developers around the world.On the other hand, American companies are trying to set up numerous obstacles and build a high technology wall for potential competitors, which is in sharp contrast to China’s open attitude.
Therefore, in order to deal with this technological anxiety, countries and companies around the world should strengthen cooperation and exchanges. By sharing resources and technology, jointly developing and applying AI technology, we will form a synergy in technology and jointly respond to challenges.
In terms of security,With the iteration and expansion of application fields of AI technology, its security and controllability have increasingly become the focus of attention.Many countries and enterprises are beginning to worry about the abuse or misuse of AI technology, which will bring national security risks and social problems.For example, AI technology may be used to create malware, conduct cyber attacks, or tamper with data; at the same time, AI technology may also be used to discriminate, invade privacy, or manipulate public opinion.
Many governments have begun to strengthen supervision and restraint on AI technology. They try to ensure the safety and controllability of AI technology by formulating laws, regulations and standard requirements, and strengthening review and evaluation. In addition, some companies have also begun to strengthen their own security management and preventive measures to ensure the safe use of AI technology.
In this regard, China Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun previously stated that the China government attaches great importance to and protects data privacy and security in accordance with the law, and has never and will not require companies or individuals to collect or provide data, information and intelligence located in foreign countries to the China government in violation of local laws. Relevant parties should respect the principles of market economy and fair competition and provide a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory business environment for China enterprises.
Ethically,Many experts and scholars pointed out that the development and application of AI technology may have an impact and impact on human values and moral concepts.For example, AI technology may lead to a reduction in jobs and an increase in unemployment; at the same time, AI technology may also have an impact on human social relations, moral judgment and decision-making capabilities.
To this end, governments and enterprises in many countries have begun to strengthen their ethical review and evaluation of AI technology. They try to ensure that the development and application of AI technology conforms to human values and ethics by formulating ethical guidelines and normative requirements, strengthening public education and publicity. In addition, some companies have also begun to actively explore ways to integrate AI technology with human society, trying to promote the healthy development of AI technology while protecting human interests.
Overall, the rise of DeepSeek is not only a major breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence in China, but also a change in the global artificial intelligence landscape. In the future, China AI companies such as Deepseek will still need to actively seek a balance between compliance and development with governments and enterprises of various countries.
