Seoul: South Korean ministries and police said on Thursday that they were stopping access to Dipic’s work computers, when the Chinese AI Startup did not respond to the data watchdog request how to manage user information Does

Claiming that it resembles artificial intelligence capacity capacity in the United States, in which a part of investment, eliminating the global industry, launched its R1 chat boot last month.

South Korea, along with countries like France and Italy, has asked questions about Deep Sak’s data methods, and submit a written request for information on how the company handles user information.

But when the Dippic failed to respond to the South Korean data watchdog inquiry, several ministries confirmed Thursday that they limit access to the potential leak of sensitive information through Generative AI services Taking steps for.

“A defense ministry official told AFP,” PCs related to military work with the Internet, especially for Deep Sak, have been implemented. “

The ministry has monitored active duty soldiers deployed against the nuclear armed North, also reaffirmed the “security precautions on the use of Generative AI for every unit and soldier, which keeps in view security and technical concerns.” Have gone. “

South Korean police told AFP that they had stopped access to Deep Sak, while the Ministry of Commerce said that temporary access to all its PCs had been restricted.

The Ministry of Commerce said it took the move because Deepesic “did not respond to the personal information Protection Commission’s inquiry.”

The country’s finance ministry also told AFP that it had “implemented measures to prevent Deep Sak for all employees to prevent personal and confidential information.”

Banned ‘not excessive’

Last week, Italy launched a Deep Sak’s R1 model investigation and prevented it from taking action on Italian users’ data.

Australia has also banned Deep Sak from all government devices on the advice of security agencies.

Professor Kim Jong-Hoova, a professor of artificial intelligence at Chiju Halla University, told AFP that he suspects that “political factors” can affect the reaction of Deep Saks between the United States and China-but The ban is still legitimate, he said.

“From a technical point of view, AI models like Chat GPT also face a number of security issues that have not yet been fully addressed,” he said.

“Given that China operates under a Communist government, I ask whether they consider security issues as much as the open technologies do when they develop modern technologies,” he said.

“We are currently not guessing how much security concerns have been focused on when producing a chatboat through DPCC. So, I am sure to take active steps is not too much.”

DiPsic says it has used low advanced H800 chips-which allows China to sell by 2023 under US export controls-to provide electricity to its large learning model.

South Korean chip giants are the key suppliers of modern chips used in Samsung Electronics and SK Hanks AI servers.

On Wednesday, the government announced an investment of an additional 34 trillion ($ 23.5 billion) in semiconductors and high -tech industries, in which the country’s acting president urged Korean tech companies to remain flexible.

Acting President Choi Sang Mock said on Wednesday, “Recently, a Chinese company unveiled the AI ​​Model Dipic R1, which offers high performance at low cost, which has a new impact on the market. …

“The Global AI competition can be developed in a more complex competition than an easy infrastructure scale -up enmity, including software capabilities and other factors.”
