DeepSeek Basics: Where Is Your Data Going? Is it Safe?

If you are new to DeepSeek and other LLMs, this video breaks down the basics of how LLMs like DeepSeek work, where your data is going and whether your data is safe when using LLMs like DeepSeek While DeepSeek is indeed "open source" and freely available to download and run locally on a computer, this should NOT be equated with downloading the DeepSeek app or using DeepSeek in a web browser - these uses are not downloading or using an open source version of DeepSeek and are instead relying on servers in China running the DeepSeek LLM, where your data is sent and stored. Although downloading an open source version of DeepSeek can be a way to avoid having your data sent to these servers in China, most casual users will not know how or be able to do this and will actually be using the app or web versions that still rely on remote DeepSeek servers in China. 🔍 In This Video: 📌Why DeepSeek’s “open-source” label can be misleading for some folks (spoiler: the real LLM runs on Chinese servers!) 📌How your text, images, and documents are stored under Chinese law (and why this matters) 📌The hidden risks of non-local AI models (yes, even ChatGPT has similar issues!) 📌Why most true open source LLM can't run on a phone, laptop or desktop 📌Critical steps to protect your privacy when using AI chatbots *⚠️ WARNING:* If you’ve used DeepSeek, you need to watch this.
