Australia 's science minister Ed Husic has raised privacy concerns about DeepSeek, the Chinese AI chatbot.

He says he will be "very careful" with the app, but users in the UK and US have so far shown no caution.

The chatbot has been downloaded at three times the rate of rivals such as Perplexity.

It collects large amounts of personal data collected from users.
