June 27 (UPI) -- German officials on Friday raised the alarm over the spying capabilities of Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Basic Technology Research Company, calling on Apple and Google to consider blocking access to the app.
Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Meike Kamp said in a statement, the watchdog believes DeepSeek is illegally sending user data to China.
Germany is the latest country to raise concerns over DeepSeek's data practices, after Italian officials earlier this year called on that country's government to block the Chinese AI company's access to Italy.
Italy opened an investigation after DeepSeek officials did not supply required documentation to regulators.
