The National Security Office (NBÚ) warns against using the new Chinese artificial intelligence chatbot DeepSeek, as it collects more information about users than its competitors with the former not having much control over them.
According to NBÚ, the collected data include the exact timing of keystrokes, prompts, passwords, inserted images, audio files, documents, as well as the IP address, among other things. The data is then stored on servers in China.
The agency adds that the collected data and prompts can be used to create a person's profile, while data about devices can be used for cyber attacks.
A new survey by the NMS agency shows that a third of Slovaks have had experience with generative artificial intelligence such ChatGPT or Google Gemini, while half have never used it and do not plan to do so.
"Those who don't plan to use AI at all tend to have a more negative view of it. There are significantly more people who have a negative perception of the development of AI and its impact on humanity. This group includes women, people over 45, those with lower education levels, and residents of the smallest villages," stated the agency, as quoted by the TASR newswire.
According to the survey, 13 percent of respondents use AI regularly. It is particularly popular among young people, as two-thirds of Generation Z use it, as do younger millennials. However, as people get older, they tend to use it less.
"Half of those who use AI search for information through it, while the second most common use is using AI as a language translator," said the agency, adding that generating copies, working with them and creating images, videos are also popular.
The survey was carried out on December 4-9 on a sample of 1,000 people.
