Deepseek’s Artificial Intelligence Prohibition

It is still unclear how much this ban has been applied to the general level of the US government. However, several states, including New York, Texas and Virginia, have also banned the use of Deepseek in their government agencies. Some congressional members and prosecutors general have also called for the adoption of laws to ban the use of this artificial intelligence program in federal agencies, with concerns about privacy and government data security.

The emergence of Deepseek in January as a low -cost and open source artificial intelligence model that could compete with competitors such as Openai and Google has significantly reduced the value of technology companies in the United States. At that time, the Deepseek app reached the first place in Apple AppStore.

OpenAI, on the other hand, has accused Chinese startups of copying the company’s intelligence models and has announced that it is reviewing Deepseek and other platforms. Openai this month claimed that Deepseek was “under government -sponsored” and “government -controlled” and called for its use in US government, military and intelligence agencies.
