Trump meets Zelenskiy, says Putin wants war to end, mulls trilateral talks
On Monday, Taiwan announced a ban on all government departments using the artificial intelligence (AI) service provided by Chinese startup DeepSeek, citing it as a security risk.
The ban was confirmed during a cabinet meeting led by Taiwan Premier Cho Jung-tai. According to a statement released by his office, the Premier emphasized the prohibition of DeepSeek’s AI service within government agencies to "ensure the country’s information security."
The move represents a stronger stance compared to the previous week’s advisory. On Friday, Taiwan’s digital ministry had advised against the use of DeepSeek by government departments, without explicitly declaring a ban.
The concerns leading to the ban include potential censorship issues and the risk of sensitive data being transferred to China.
