Italy opens probe into AI firm DeepSeek over hallucination risks
Italy's antitrust body has opened an investigation into DeepSeek for allegedly failing to warn users about the risk of "hallucinations" in its AI-produced content. Hallucinations are situations where the AI model generates inaccurate, misleading, or fabricated information in response to user inputs. DeepSeek may be fined €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover for violating transparency law.
