This content discusses a significant incident involving the German official Meike Kamp, a data protection official at Berlin’s apologized for, and she has accused Chinese AI company DeepSeek of violating data protection laws by transferring user data to China. Here is a summary of the content in six paragraphs:

—

A German data protection official, Meike Kamp, Berlin’s commissioner for data protection and freedom of information, accusing Chinese AI company DeepSeek of allegedly transferring user data to China. Kamp reported to Apple and Google via Apple’s website and the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR.amp) by Apple, she claimed DeepSeek made no efforts to provide “convincing evidence” that user data was protected, as required by EU law. Kamp emphasized that Chinese authorities have exclusive access rights to personal data within the sphere of influence of Chinese companies, and she stated thatDeepSeek’s transfer of data to China was “unlawful” and that users in China lacked enforceable rights and legal remedies in the EU.

The incident reveals that companies across Europe have shifted their focus towards sharing data with Chinese companies, particularly in the mobile app market. DeepSeek made waves in January, initially offering content generated by its AI model at an affordable cost, but there have been calls for increased data protection measures as concerns over cybersecurity and data safety regarding its products intensified. With China being a major player in global AI, the UK banned DeepSeek in January and Italy also tengo a block on its app stores after reporting similar concerns.

Kamp’s claim is aimed at pushing companies to review their data transfer capabilities and ensure that legitimate AI developments are indeed stored and accessed by their respective users, as per EU laws. She mentioned that DeepSeek App was blocked in Germany and included in an app store listed under the EU category. Kamp’s statement has implications for the global AI industry, as companies in the EU have more constraints on how data is shared within their borders. This incident also highlights the growing tensions between European and Chinese data sovereignty and the risks of data misuse in the interconnected world.

DeepSeek, a leader in AI-driven chatbots, has faced substantial opposition from both sides of Europe regarding data ethics and cybersecurity. Despite Concerns about DeepSeek-R1’s susceptibility to generating harmful and biased content, the company has not engaged in legal action. Kamp’s call to Apple and Google to review the incident suggests a commitment to ensuring that the Chinese AI developer is indeed storing and sharing_data in compliance with EU laws. This case underscores the challenges in maintaining global AI governance and the potential consequences of enabling data transfer in unintended regions.
