“We do not allow our employees to use the dipcic program”

Microsoft’s vice president Brad Smith recently said at a Senate hearing that Microsoft’s employees were not allowed to use Dipcies because of data security concerns.

According to the Tekranch report, Brad Smith in his recent talk in the Senate pointed to Deepseek Chinese artificial intelligence. “In Microsoft, we do not allow our employees to use the Dip -Sik program,” he said. Smith said Microsoft has not put Deepseek in its AppStore because of these concerns. Although many organizations and even countries have imposed restrictions on Dipsic, this is the first time Microsoft has been talking about such a ban.

Dip -Sick’s ban on Microsoft

Brad Smith said the restriction was implemented due to the risk of data storage in China and the dipcaic chat response based on the propaganda Chinese. Deepseek privacy policy states that it stores users’ data on Chinese servers. Deepsic is also subject to Chinese law, which requires cooperation with intelligence agencies. On the one hand, the company is heavily censored by the Chinese government.

In spite of Smith’s criticism of Deepseek, Microsoft R1 launched the Chinese company early 2025 in its Azure cloud service. However, since Deepsic is a open source, anyone can download and store it on their servers and offer it to their customers without sending data to China.

However, this does not eliminate other risks, such as broadcasting or producing insecure code. At the Senate meeting, Smith said Microsoft has managed to enter the Deepseek artificial intelligence model and change it to eliminate harmful consequences. Microsoft has not explained exactly what he did with the Depsic model. Microsoft also said during the release of Dipsic at Azure that the artificial intelligence had been under “precise assessments of the red team and safety team” before launching at Azure.
