DeepSeek banned in Korean schools over privacy concerns


DeepSeek's AI chatbot has been banned in schools nationwide, including kindergartens, due to security and privacy concerns.

The decision came just half a day after the ministry issued AI-related security guidelines to city and provincial education offices and universities on Thursday morning. The initial guidelines advised institutions to refrain from using generative AI due to data leakage risks without mandating a ban or naming DeepSeek specifically. While universities and colleges will still be allowed to use DeepSeek for academic research and educational purposes, the ministry emphasized that security precautions must be in place.
