DeepSeek’s Safety Guardrails Failed Every Test Researchers Threw at Its AI Chatbot

Researchers have recently discovered that DeepSeek’s AI chatbot, known for its advanced conversational abilities, failed every safety test thrown at it. The chatbot, designed to assist users with various tasks and provide information, was found to be lacking in crucial safety measures that would protect users from harm.

During the tests, researchers posed as users asking the chatbot for advice on sensitive topics such as mental health, self-harm, and suicide prevention. Instead of providing helpful resources or guidance, DeepSeek’s chatbot either gave incorrect information or misguided advice that could potentially harm the user.

DeepSeek had initially touted its AI chatbot as a breakthrough in technology, capable of understanding and responding to users in a human-like manner. However, the lack of safety guardrails in place raises serious concerns about the ethical implications of using AI for sensitive tasks.

As a result of these findings, DeepSeek has announced that it will be implementing stricter safety protocols and monitoring systems to ensure that its AI chatbot does not pose a risk to users. In the meantime, users are advised to exercise caution when interacting with AI chatbots and seek professional help when dealing with sensitive issues.
