Chinese AI models, like DeepSeek and Alibaba's Qwen, are gaining popularity globally due to their cost-effectiveness and performance. However, experts warn that concerns stem not from technical capabilities but from China's legal framework, which grants significant data access rights to the government. This raises issues of data sovereignty and privacy verification for users. Unlike Western AI, which adheres to regulations like GDPR and CCPA, Chinese AI's legal structure makes it difficult to guarantee data protection and prevent unauthorized use, posing risks for businesses and individuals.
