US lawmakers have introduced bipartisan legislation to ban the use of DeepSeek, a Chinese generative AI tool, on government devices due to national security risks. Lawmakers Josh Gottheimer and Darin LaHood highlight that DeepSeek's affiliation with the Chinese Communist Party raises alarms about data privacy and potential misuse of information. Other countries, including Australia and Taiwan, have similarly restricted DeepSeek's access. The bill reflects ongoing concerns in the US about threats posed by foreign technology accessing sensitive data.
"The national security threat that DeepSeek - a CCP affiliated company - poses to the United States is alarming... Under no circumstances can we allow a CCP company to obtain sensitive government or personal data."
"DeepSeek's generative AI program acquires the data of US users and stores the information for unidentified use by the CCP."
