United States planning this ‘Tiktok-type’ action on China’s DeepSeek AI

US lawmakers are preparing to introduce legislation that would prohibit Chinese AI company’s chatbot, named, DeepSeek, on government devices, responding to escalating national security concerns about potential data collection risks. The proposed bill, crafted by bipartisan representatives Darin LaHood (Republican) and Josh Gottheimer (Democratic), aims to prevent what lawmakers see as a potential information security threat.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the legislative move is driven by similar national security considerations that led to the ban of TikTok last year.
