DHS Orders US Civilian Agencies to Remove Chinese AI DeepSeek From Government Systems
Read this in the Market Flux appThe Department of Homeland Security has ordered all US civilian federal agencies to remove DeepSeek products and any third-party services built on the Chinese AI model from their IT systems, and banned new purchases of the technology. The directive, originally signed on July 24 and posted publicly on Monday via the Federal Register, cites national security concerns, warning that DeepSeek use may result in the transfer of sensitive data to China.
China's Commerce Ministry responded sharply, saying Beijing firmly opposes the move and describing it as discriminatory. The ministry accused Washington of politicizing technology and trade issues under the guise of national security, and said the order disregards consensus reached between the heads of state of both countries. China vowed to protect its companies and urged the US to immediately correct what it called wrong practices and revoke discriminatory restrictions on Chinese firms.
