The South Korean government on Monday said it has suspended the use in the country of Chinese artificial intelligence(AI) app DeepSeek.
South Korea's Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) justified its decision on the ground of concerns about the app's data collection practices.
The commission said it suspended DeepSeek's local service at 6 pm(0900 GMT) on Saturday and that it would be back online after"improvements and remedies" are made in line with the country's personal information protection laws.
According to the PIPC, DeepSeek is currently actively cooperating with the data protection authority.
