The United States government has ordered federal agencies to immediately remove AI models and related systems developed by the Chinese AI company DeepSeek from government IT infrastructure.
This measure is rooted in national security concerns. The federal government has established a policy to block potential vulnerabilities and data leakage risks that could arise from integrating external AI platforms into government systems.
Federal agencies are required to completely remove DeepSeek-related software and tools from their current systems and transition to alternatives with verified safety standards. This development once again highlights the critical importance of governance and risk management in AI deployment.
