US Orders Removal of Chinese AI DeepSeek from Government Systems Over Security Concerns
The US Department of Homeland Security has ordered the removal of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI model, from all US civilian government IT systems due to data security concerns. DHS cited risks of sensitive data transfer to China, potential malware, and intelligence gathering on US persons and agencies. Several federal agencies and states had already banned DeepSeek. The move aligns with broader US actions restricting Chinese technology, including upcoming FCC votes on banning Chinese labs from testing electronic devices and imports of certain Chinese tech products.
