DeepSeek Frenzy: Innovation or Security Threat?

Chinese AI app DeepSeek has taken the U.S. by storm, skyrocketing to the top of Apple’s App Store and sending shockwaves through Wall Street. But its rapid adoption has raised alarms among government officials and cybersecurity experts, who fear potential national security threats.

Key Points:

• DeepSeek’s Explosive Debut – The app became the most downloaded free app overnight, rattling U.S. tech stocks. Nvidia saw a record-breaking 17% drop, wiping out $600 billion in value.

• Government Crackdown? – President Trump called it a "wake-up call," while lawmakers push for tighter controls on foreign AI models that could leverage U.S. data.

• Data Security Risks – DeepSeek's privacy policy reveals that user data is stored on servers in China, raising concerns about surveillance and potential misuse.Unlike TikTok, DeepSeek lacks U.S. data protections and could be subject to China’s broad data access laws, making it a bigger risk.

• Censorship Concerns – The AI app reportedly blocks politically sensitive topics, fueling fears of information manipulation on U.S. soil.

DeepSeek’s meteoric rise highlights the growing tensions between China and the U.S. over AI dominance. With national security on the line, lawmakers are scrambling to decide whether to regulate, restrict, or outright ban the app. The question remains—will DeepSeek be the next TikTok, or something far more dangerous?

Vatican Issues Ethical Guidelines on AI

A new Vatican document outlines ethical principles for artificial intelligence, emphasizing that AI should complement rather than replace human intelligence. It warns against AI’s role in warfare, highlighting the dangers of autonomous weapons that lack moral judgment. The document stresses that AI cannot substitute for human relationships or spiritual fulfillment, cautioning against using technology as a means of seeking meaning. Concerns over privacy, environmental impact, and misinformation are also addressed, urging transparency and regulatory oversight. In healthcare and education, AI is seen as a tool to assist but not replace human decision-making. Ultimately, the Vatican calls for responsible AI development that upholds human dignity and ethical integrity.
