Report Warns of Chinese AI Data Practices and Market Competition
What happened
A report noted that Chinese companies, including DeepSeek and Xiaomi China, are offering artificial intelligence models cheaply to Western businesses and governments. DeepSeek's policy allows it to process and store personal data in China and permits disclosure to Chinese authorities. Experts suggest that information entered into these chatbots could potentially be shared with the Chinese state.

Why it matters
The availability of low-cost Chinese AI models challenges the market share of US software. Experts warn that reliance on Chinese technology could hollow out Western industry and undermine data security. The report suggests that the UK should reject cheap Chinese AI and support domestic and EU suppliers.
Beijing is safeguarding strategically important technologies as the global AI arms race accelerates, with Chinese AI models challenging U.S. dominance.
