ROME, Jan 5 (Reuters) -  Italy's antitrust authority has ended an investigation into the Chinese AI system DeepSeek for allegedly failing to warn ‌users that it may produce false information, ​agreeing to binding commitments as a ‍condition for closing the ⁠case.

The Italian ⁠regulator, known as the AGCM, which also ‌polices consumer rights, had ​launched the investigation last June.

The decision was announced in ⁠the AGCM's regular ‍weekly ​bulletin published on Monday.

The commitments proposed by Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence and ‍Beijing DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence, which jointly own and operate DeepSeek, consist of a package of measures aimed at improving disclosures about the ​risk ‍of 'hallucinations' -  situations in which, based on a given input from ​a user, the AI model generates one or more outputs containing inaccurate, misleading, or fabricated information.

"The commitments presented by DeepSeek make disclosures about the risk ​of hallucinations easier, more transparent, intelligible, and immediate," the AGCM bulletin said.
