Should You Use Chinese AI? Security Expert Answers | EP 28

The White House calls Chinese AI a national security threat — yet DeepSeek runs at a fraction of GPT's price. After 30 years in security, here's my honest answer.
Is DeepSeek safe? Should you use Chinese AI for business? The answer turns on one technical distinction almost nobody talks about: hosted vs local. In this video I break down the Chinese AI privacy and DeepSeek GDPR risk of hosted apps, the hardware you need to run DeepSeek and Qwen locally, the three safeguards that make local safe (Docker, hash-checked weights, lab versions only), and the censorship test that still works now the Tiananmen test has stopped.
