U.S. House Bill Proposes Ban on Chinese AI App DeepSeek Amid National Security Concerns
A new bipartisan House bill seeking to ban the Chinese AI app DeepSeek from U.S. federal devices is gaining attention. Introduced by Representatives Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and Darin LaHood (R-Ill.), the legislation aims to combat potential Chinese government surveillance and misinformation risks. DeepSeek, developed by hedge fund High-Flyer, has been critiqued for sending user data to Chinese state-owned telecommunications companies, sparking national security concerns. With several countries already restricting the app, this proposed ban signifies heightened vigilance over foreign AI technologies.
