“At this time, DeepSeek is under review by the CAO and is currently unauthorised for official House use,” the notice stated, as cited by Axios.
DeepSeek, a low-cost AI model developed in China, has posed a potential challenge to the dominance of American AI firms such as OpenAI and Google, owned by Alphabet. Its rapid emergence in the AI market has fuelled concerns within the US about competition, security risks, and geopolitical implications.
This warning aligns with broader scrutiny of Chinese technology within the US government, which has previously taken action against Chinese firms over national security concerns. With AI development becoming increasingly competitive on the global stage, the US appears to be doubling down on efforts to safeguard its digital infrastructure and maintain its technological leadership.
While the review of DeepSeek is ongoing, congressional offices have been urged to refrain from using the application until further guidance is provided.
