The Albanese government has banned DeepSeek, a Chinese AI chatbot, from all federal government devices, citing national security concerns. The ban follows advice from intelligence agencies, warning of an unacceptable risk to Australia’s assets. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke emphasized that the decision is based on security, not the app’s country of origin. The move comes after similar actions from Taiwan, Italy, and some U.S. federal agencies. The government will ensure the app is removed from all devices and cannot be reinstalled.

DeepSeek will be banned from all federal government devices as the Albanese government cracks down on the Chinese AI chatbot, citing unspecified national security risks. The home affairs department secretary signed a directive on Tuesday banning the program from all federal government systems and devices on national security grounds after advice from intelligence agencies that it poses an unacceptable risk.
