US Orders Removal of Chinese AI DeepSeek from Civilian Government Systems Over Security Concerns
The US Department of Homeland Security has ordered all civilian government agencies to remove DeepSeek AI products and third-party services using its Chinese AI models from their IT systems, citing multiple security risks. The DHS warned that using DeepSeek could lead to the transfer of sensitive data to China and may expose systems to malware or vulnerabilities. The ban excludes military and intelligence agencies. Several states and federal agencies had already restricted DeepSeek. The Federal Communications Commission is also considering further restrictions on Chinese technology.
