As the Albanese government cracks down on the Foreign AI robot, citing unknown national security risks, may get banned from all federal state products.
US tech shares were rocked last week by the start of DeepSeek’s AI conceptual bot amid concerns over repression and data security.
After receiving guidance from intelligence agencies that the program poses an unacceptable threat, the director of home affairs signed a mandate on Tuesday to outlaw it from all federal authorities systems and devices.
The decision, according to the home affairs minister, was influenced by the app’s threat to the state and its property, no its country of origin, China.
” The Albanese state is taking swift and decisive action to protect Australia’s national security and national attention”, Burke said.
When our firms discover a national security risk, the government will never hesitate to operate even though AI has a lot of potential and possibility.
Government ministries and organizations may be required to report back to home matters as soon as possible to make sure the software is not left on any devices and that they are not prompted to reinstall it.
The decision comes nearly two years after the Albanese government issued its government-wide restrictions on Chinese social media app TikTok, citing” security and privacy” challenges.
The technology minister, Ed Husic, said in January he foresaw similar conversations happening over .
” I believe that is something that people will naturally tend toward.” I believe there will be some similarities to what you’ve seen in the discourse surrounding DeepSeek. I wouldn’t be surprised if that emerges”, he said.
Australia is the most recent nation to outlaw DeepSeek from authorities use, following Taiwan, Italy, and some US national agencies’ earlier moves to outlaw the application.

The New South Wales state apparently outlawed the app this week while other state governments were considering alternatives.
A Guardian Australia study in January revealed that the robot did not respond to particular social issues that were sensitive to the Foreign state.
DeepSeek did not respond to inquiries about issues like Tiananmen Square and the Umbrella revolution, unlike other models like Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It said:” Sorry, that’s beyond my current context. This talk about something else”.
After its January launch, DeepSeek gained immediate popularity on international software stores.
