Immediate Restriction on DeepSeek in Italy

In a decisive move, the Italian Data Protection Authority (GPDP) has mandated the immediate restriction of DeepSeek within the country. This action is aimed at safeguarding the privacy and data of Italian users, as stated in the authority's recent announcement.

Investigation Launched

Alongside the restriction, the GPDP has initiated an investigation into DeepSeek's operations. This step underscores the growing concerns over data privacy and the ethical use of artificial intelligence technologies.

Market Impact and Industry Response

The controversy surrounding DeepSeek, particularly its latest model, DeepSeek V3, has sent ripples through the tech industry. Its superior performance over existing models like GPT-4o and Claude-3.5 has not only sparked debates but also led to significant market shifts, notably affecting Nvidia's market value.
