Scientist Enrico Paringit, executive director of the Department of Science and TechnolOogy-Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD), said that there was no immediate danger in using or engaging with the DeepSeek R1 large language model (LLM), and saw no need for government to regulate or ban its use by organizations or individuals.
Paringit pointed out that being open source and offered free to use by DeepSeek, the application is a great benefit to people who want to study or look into the use cases of AI LLMs.
"It's offered to the public for free, and it's also available in many levels. It can be accessed online, it can also be installed in your own system, offline. You can make your own machine, like an AI machine," he said.
"There are really opportunities because it provides access to AI machines. Previously, when we just had the AI chatbots ChatGPT, Microsoft (Windows) AutoPilot, Gemini (Google), it was not so accessible. Because you had to pay for more advanced features, more advanced capabilities," Paringit pointed out.
