Although there appeared to be basic safeguards, Journal reported that DeepSeek was successfully convinced to design a social media campaign that, in the chatbot\u2019s words, \u201cpreys on teenagers&#8217; desire for belonging, weaponizing emotional vulnerability through algorithmic amplification.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chatbot was also reportedly convinced to provide instructions for a bioweapon attack, to write a manifesto in favor of Hitler, and to write a phishing email containing malware code. The Journal stated that when ChatGPT was provided with the exact same prompts, it refused to comply.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was previously reported that the DeepSeek app avoids topics such as Tiananmen Square or Taiwanese autonomy. And Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said recently that DeepSeek performed \u201cthe worst\u201d on a bioweapons safety test.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/02\/09\/deepseeks-r1-reportedly-more-vulnerable-to-jailbreaking-than-other-ai-models\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest model from DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company that has recently faced controversy in Silicon Valley and Wall Street, can be manipulated to produce harmful content such as blueprints&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":3112,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[62],"class_list":["post-4209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-deepseek"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2196333417_75e106.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4209\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
