DHS orders DeepSeek products removed from federal agency IT systems
The Department of Homeland Security has ordered DeepSeek products removed from federal civilian agency IT systems and barred from government contracting.
The Department of Homeland Security has banned technology from the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek from federal civilian agency IT systems, according to The Hill and CNBC.
The Hill reports the order also bars DeepSeek products from government contracting. It says the order first went out in July and was published on the Federal Register website on Monday.
The Hill reports the order says DeepSeek's AI models present "multiple threat vectors." The report's text was cut off, so further detail on that finding is not available.
CNBC describes the ban as coming amid an AI rift between the U.S. and China.
