South Korea blocked the downloads of DeepSeek AI chatbot from China because of worldwide concern over Chinese AI platforms. After DeepSeek gained strong user support in South Korea the control agency there enforced restrictions on new downloads.

The Personal Information Protection Commission prohibited DeepSeek from both online stores until the service takes steps to meet local data security standards. Several South Korean government agencies earlier restricted their workers from putting the chatbot on work system devices before this new ban. The AI system has startled Acting President Choi Sang-mok who envisions its impact expanding past its current industry.

South Korea started this movement which now spreads through different countries as Taiwan and Australia joined the ban. The Italian government control team stopped people from using DeepSeek whereas different American regions made new laws for official devices. 

The Chinese AI model runs efficiently at low costs yet performs similarly to US data systems making Western AI investors question their own efficiency.
