IndiaThe Ministry of Finance has advised its employees to use AI tools such as Chatgpt and Deepseek for official work, invoking concerns about the confidentiality of government data and documents, according to an internal opinion.
Similar restrictions on Deepseek have been implemented in countries like Australia and Italy on data security risks. The reports of the opinion surfaced on Tuesday on social networks, just before the planned visit of the CEO of Openai, Sam Altman in India, during which he should meet the Minister of IT.
“The use of AI tools and applications (such as Chatgpt, Deepseek, etc.) on computers and office devices presents risks for the confidentiality of government data and documents,” said the council issued by the Ministry of Finance on January 29.
