Reps. Josh Gottheimer and Darin LaHood introduced the "No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act," which proposes banning the Chinese AI app DeepSeek from federal use. The lawmakers emphasize concerns over potential surveillance and misinformation by the Chinese government. The proposal reflects ongoing U.S.-China technological competition, especially after DeepSeek released a competitive AI model at a low cost, prompting security concerns among policymakers and technology leaders. This follows previous actions against Chinese tech firms, highlighting increasing scrutiny on foreign tech influence in the U.S.
The Chinese Communist Party has made it abundantly clear that it will exploit any tool at its disposal to undermine our national security, spew harmful disinformation, and collect data on Americans.
DeepSeek purported to develop the model at a fraction of the cost of its American counterparts.
