Government Warns Staff: Avoid AI Tools Like ChatGPT and DeepSeek
The Indian Finance Ministry has advised its officers and staff not to use AI tools such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek on office devices, citing risks to the confidentiality of government data and documents. A note from the Department of Expenditure dated January 29 emphasized that these AI applications could compromise sensitive information. Employees have been instructed to avoid using such tools on official computers and devices. This move aligns with actions taken by countries like Australia and Italy, which have restricted the use of certain AI tools due to data security concerns.
