US lawmakers introduce bill to ban DeepSeek from government devices
US lawmakers on Thursday brought forth a bill to ban Chinese artificial intelligence program DeepSeek from being used on government devices over concerns about user data security. Representative Josh Gottheimer, a New Jersey Democrat, introduced the bill along with Darin LaHood, an Illinois Republican, citing an 'alarming threat to US national security' and warning of 'direct ties' between DeepSeek and the Chinese government. The bill comes after a Wednesday report by Feroot Security, a US cybersecurity firm, found that the AI model contains hidden code capable of transmitting user data to China Mobile, a state-owned telecom firm. Chinese startup DeepSeek shocked the global AI industry last month with the launch of its low-cost, high-quality chatbot, which shook the lead the United States and other countries had in the ongoing race to develop the technology. 'The Chinese Communist Party has made it abundantly clear that it will exploit any tool at its disposal to undermine our national security, spew harmful disinformation, and collect data on Americans,' Gottheimer said in a statement. LaHood, calling DeepSeek a 'CCP-affiliated company,' said that 'under no circumstances' can it be allowed to 'obtain sensitive government or personal data.' The legislation in the House of Representatives comes as South Korean ministries and police said they were blocking DeepSeek's access to their computers after the company did not respond to a data watchdog request about how it manages user information. Australia has also banned DeepSeek from all government devices on the advice of security agencies, while France and Italy have raised concerns about DeepSeek's data practices. Separately, video-sharing app TikTok is facing down a US law that orders the company to divest from its Chinese owner ByteDance or be banned in the United States.

DeepSeek's advanced tracking technology 'never seen before'
US lawmakers are considering banning Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) platform DeepSeek's chatbot app from government devices due to concerns over potential data leaks. CEO of Feroot Security Ivan Tsarynny joins Market Domination to share critical insights on the unfolding situation. Tsarynny reveals that DeepSeek's chatbot embeds instructions to send user information, including login details, to servers owned by China Mobile (which is owned by the Chinese government). "That is something we've never seen before," he says. "If you're logging into [DeepSeek], you will get digitally fingerprinted," he adds. "Everything that you provide into it, plus your digital fingerprint and your identity, they will be able to track you and tie your personal information to the queries that you submit, which is the first time we've ever seen being so personalized." Tsarynny explains that this raises national security concerns. "The risks that the bill will prevent or can prevent is potentially very sensitive information ... it's not just personal privacy risk, but also definitely there's a possibility to national security risks," he says.
