The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a ban requiring its subordinate government agencies to stop using DeepSeek, an AI model developed by a Chinese company. This is a new round of federal-level restrictions targeting Chinese AI products, driven by ongoing concerns over security risks of Chinese AI applications in government systems.
