DeepSeek AI Security: Addressing Common Concerns in 2025

As AI models like DeepSeek gain traction, concerns have emerged regarding data security, foreign influence, and national cybersecurity. While some users express serious reservations about DeepSeek’s Chinese origins, the reality of how AI APIs function tells a different story. Let’s examine the concerns versus the actual risks.

Data Security in DeepSeek AI: Separating Facts from Fiction

Some users worry that DeepSeek—being developed in China—could be subject to laws mandating data sharing with the Chinese government. This concern stems from broader issues around industrial espionage and state surveillance.

AI API Security: How CloseBot Protects Your Data

DeepSeek, like any AI model, operates through API requests. Data is sent for processing and then returned as a response. When CloseBot utilizes any model for V2, it does so through your API key that you configure in the AI Providers settings. If you have concerns about DeepSeek and prefer not to share your data, simply don’t add it as an AI Provider within your settings. Other users’ choice to use DeepSeek will not affect the integrity of your siloed account.

AI Provider Selection: Making Informed Decisions for Your Business

CloseBot’s philosophy is to provide users with multiple AI model choices rather than dictating which models are acceptable. This aligns with a free-market approach where businesses can make their own informed decisions. While some agencies using CloseBot may choose to avoid DeepSeek, others can leverage its capabilities if they see value in them. For businesses, the optimal approach is to:

  • Avoid relying on a single AI model
  • Implement strong data security practices
  • Stay informed about evolving risks
  • Make decisions based on individual needs, regardless of whether an AI model originates from the U.S., China, or elsewhere

AI Cost Comparison: DeepSeek vs Other Providers in CloseBot V2

Cost considerations are paramount for most users. We’ve observed AI costs decrease dramatically over the past two years, and at CloseBot, we anticipate generative AI costs will continue to approach zero. This trend means more revenue potential for you, as you’ll soon be able to re-bill usage within CloseBot.

These costs fluctuate frequently as providers compete with one another. Rest assured that CloseBot V2 will provide access to as many models as possible and automate the re-billing process for you, regardless of which model you choose. Our goal is to reduce your worries while maximizing your revenue potential.

Complete Guide to Choosing AI Providers for Lead Generation

When selecting an AI Provider for your CloseBot personas, consider these three key factors:

  1. Cost – What level of cost reduction matters for you and your clients?
  2. Reliability – How critical is AI quality during lead qualification and booking?
  3. Security – What level of trust do you require from your AI provider?

Budget-Friendly AI Solutions: DeepSeek and Gemini Integration

If cost reduction is your priority, consider using more affordable models like DeepSeek or Gemini. You can customize your fallback lineup—for example, setting up Gemini as your primary model with DeepSeek as a backup during downtime.

Enterprise-Grade AI Solutions: Anthropic and OpenAI Options

If reliability concerns outweigh cost considerations and you need to minimize errors, consider established providers like Anthropic or OpenAI. These providers typically offer more consistent performance for critical operations.
