South Korea has accused DeepSeek of transferring user data without consent. According to the South Korean data protection authority, reported by Reuters, DeepSeek allegedly transferred personal information and user prompts to companies located in China and the United States. Prompts are the messages, questions, or documents that users input into an artificial intelligence system. In other words, what some might consider a simple conversation with a tool can actually contain sensitive information—such as names, documents, work ideas, personal data, contracts, reports, or strategies. This case is significant because it involves more than just speculation or rumors; a national data protection authority has raised the issue and demanded corrective action. It demonstrates that the concerns surrounding DeepSeek go beyond the tool's performance to encompass how user data is collected, transferred, and utilized. DeepSeek subsequently announced corrective measures, including halting the transfer of prompt content. However, this incident highlights a crucial point: when using a foreign artificial intelligence tool, one must always consider where the information being entered actually goes. For African users, businesses, media outlets, NGOs, and public institutions, this precedent serves as a warning. Before inputting a document, report, ID card, contract, or sensitive information into an AI, it is essential to ask the right questions: Who receives this data? Where is it stored? Is it transferred to other companies? Did the user truly provide consent? Artificial intelligence can be useful, but it should not be used blindly. If national authorities are investigating, African users should, at the very least, ask questions. #NigeriaAI #DigitalSovereignty #DeepSeek #safeaifornigeria #eveilafricain
