Italian antitrust watchdog AGCM said recently it had opened an investigation into Chinese AI startup DeepSeek for allegedly failing to warn users that it may produce false information.
The Italian regulator said in a statement DeepSeek did not give users “sufficiently clear, immediate and intelligible” warnings about the risk of so-called “hallucinations” in its AI-produced content.
It described these as “situations in which, in response to a given input entered by a user, the AI model generates one or more outputs containing inaccurate, misleading or invented information.” In February, another Italian watchdog, the data protection authority, ordered DeepSeek to block access to its chatbot after it failed to address its concerns on privacy policy.
