A new security report reveals that DeepSeek R1, the popular Chinese AI chatbot, is significantly more likely to generate harmful, biased, and toxic content than its competitors. The report also raises concerns about the chatbot's security vulnerabilities and its potential for misuse by cybercriminals.
DeepSeek R1, the Chinese AI chatbot that gained immense popularity on the App Store, is facing serious scrutiny over its safety and privacy practices. While it has been praised for its fluency and capabilities, a recent security report by Enkrypt AI reveals that DeepSeek R1 poses a significant risk to users due to its lack of safety guardrails. The report highlights several alarming issues.
DeepSeek R1 is 3 times more biased than Claude-3 Opus, 4 times more vulnerable to generating insecure code than OpenAI's O1, and 4 times more toxic than GPT-4o. It is also 11 times more likely to generate harmful output compared to OpenAI's O1 and 3.5 times more likely to produce Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) content than OpenAI's O1 and Claude-3 Opus. These findings suggest that DeepSeek R1 is more likely to generate harmful, biased, and toxic content than its competitors. The report outlines several specific examples, including DeepSeek R1's ability to produce discriminatory output, generate harmful content such as criminal planning guides and extremist propaganda, and create dialogue containing profanity and hate speech. Additionally, DeepSeek R1 is significantly more susceptible to generating malicious code, including malware and trojans, raising serious concerns about its potential for misuse by cybercriminals. The report also warns that DeepSeek R1's ability to explain the biochemical interactions of dangerous substances like mustard gas could aid in the development of chemical or biological weapons.These findings are particularly concerning given that DeepSeek R1 sends all user data to China, raising serious privacy concerns. The report urges users to exercise caution when interacting with DeepSeek R1 and to be aware of the potential risks
