The Finance Ministry has taken a significant step in addressing data risk concerns by directing officers to avoid using AI models like ChatGPT and DeepSeek. This move comes amid growing global concerns over data safety and privacy, with countries such as Australia and Italy already shielding their official systems from Chinese DeepSeek. As cybersecurity threats escalate, the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools is under scrutiny, with data protection and security keywords like 'data risk management' and 'cybersecurity' becoming increasingly important. The ministry's decision aims to safeguard sensitive information and prevent potential data breaches.
