New Poll Reveals Majority of Users Haven't Tried DeepSeek - Security Concerns Are a Key Factor

DETROIT - Jan. 30, 2025 - PRLog -- A new Briefs Media poll suggests that DeepSeek, an AI tool that has recently risen to prominence, has yet to achieve mainstream adoption - primarily due to security concerns.

Out of 68 respondents, 66% said they had not tried DeepSeek, while 34% reported having tested it. Among those who hadn't used it, many cited security and privacy concerns as their main reason for avoiding the tool.

Skepticism Around AI and Security Risks

As AI tools like DeepSeek expand their reach, user trust remains a major barrier to widespread use. Many respondents indicated they had no plans to explore the tool in the future, reflecting broader concerns about data privacy and potential misuse of AI-powered technologies.

"I haven't tried DeepSeek and am cautious about it because of the way AI learns about us based on information we provide and previous searches. I don't trust China's use of this data." - D.K.

"I'm afraid China will know all my business and data." - G.

"I don't expect to download DeepSeek anytime soon." - S.K.

What This Means for AI Adoption

The results highlight an ongoing challenge for AI developers: building trust with users. While DeepSeek may offer competitive advantages, concerns over data security, AI reliability, and transparency may hinder adoption.

As AI technology advances, companies will need to address these concerns through better transparency, security assurances, and clearer user protections.
