India's Finance Ministry has issued a directive to its employees, urging them to avoid using artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT and Deepseek, citing concerns over data security and potential leaks. The advisory, which was sent out on February 5, 2025, emphasizes the risks associated with sharing sensitive government information with these AI platforms, which could compromise national security. The ministry highlighted that these AI tools, while useful for various tasks, do not guarantee the confidentiality of the data entered into them.
