`DeepSeek proves why society and policymakers need to understand how LLMs are integrated into technology`

January 2025

The recent release of DeepSeek's R1 large language model is a prime example of the immediate need for wider society to understand how LLMs are integrated into the technology we use today.

Case in point: various governments have sought to regulate or ban employee and/or citizen's DeepSeek use, but what technology exactly are they referring to? Do policymakers intend to regulate:

- Downloading and/or usage of the standalone DeepSeek app, and/or

- Country-based app store availablity of the DeepSeek app, and/or

- Any use of DeepSeek models (self-hosted or APIs), and/or

- 3rd party apps (products/services) *built on top of DeepSeek models* (self-hosted or APIs)?

If you're confused, think about the people writing the policy.
