US bans DeepSeek AI tools across federal agencies over data-transfer risk
The US DHS ordered all federal agencies to remove DeepSeek AI tools and third-party derivatives from IT systems, citing potential transfer of sensitive data to China. This escalates US-China tech decoupling from hardware to AI software, following similar restrictions on Huawei and other Chinese tech. The ban is a policy directive, not legislation, and its enforcement scope across agencies remains to be seen.
