DeepSeek, the very popular AI made in China, is causing discussion and some claim that Kim Jong Un’s North Korea could exploit it for military purposes in its long-distance war with Washington. A real ace up the sleeve that the Pyongyang dictator could use to modernize his army and enhance the capabilities of the country’s armed forces. In cyber warfare, disinformation and other areas.
As reconstructed by Federico Giuliani in the pages of Il Giornale – and which takes up the indiscretions published on the Nk News website . Kim Jong Un is ready to use Artificial Intelligence in the most varied ways.
For example, he could use DeepSeek to create malware that is difficult to detect and potentially lethal for Western enemies or develop autonomous drones with advanced offensive and surveillance capabilities. These fears are motivated by the open source nature of DeepSeek. The basic code of the AI is open and modifiable by users or developers, including North Korean ones.
American analysts are therefore concerned about Pyongyang’s access to such important technology. A country that thanks to DeepSeek could bypass some technological restrictions imposed by Washington.
Google’s top management has also expressed concern. According to the company, foreign companies could use Deepseek to improve their productivity at the expense of competitors and hackers from Iran, China and North Korea could exploit it to strengthen their operations around the globe.
Washington’s concerns are part of a situation of constant tension between the United States and North Korea. Which, with Trump’s arrival at the White House, will be difficult to resolve. According to Pyongyang’s foreign ministry, these concerns are not unjustified, given the message sent to Marco Rubio, US secretary of state, guilty of having defined the country as a “rogue state”:
“The United States has always been aggressive toward us and will continue to be so. But we are unlikely to accept any provocation from them. Instead, we will adopt, as usual, a tough counteraction . The note reads -. Rubio’s crude and senseless remarks do nothing. But directly demonstrate the new American administration’s erroneous view of us. And so will never help promote the interests of the United States as he wishes”.https://youtu.be/-c4gmcHL4cU?si=lNZjNzfGH8SEnbNb
