The newly released large language model DeepSeek is an AI-powered platform designed for various applications, including natural language processing and code generation. While it offers advanced capabilities, its security, privacy, and compliance implications have not been formally assessed by the university. At this time, we strongly advise against using DeepSeek for any university-related activities, including research, administrative tasks, or data processing involving institutional or proprietary information. The university has not yet conducted a formal security or compliance review of this software, and its use may pose risks related to data privacy, intellectual property, and regulatory compliance. Until further notice, faculty, staff, and students should refrain from using DeepSeek for official university matters or with university-owned data, systems, or resources.
