- A new bill arrives in which “opponent nations” models are prohibited
- Models such as Deepseek will be prohibited
- Many private companies have already prohibited the model
Models of artificial intelligence built in China, Iran, Russia or the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea could soon be prohibited from use in government agencies thanks to the “newly introduced adversary law”.
The legislators presented this bill in the House and Senate by the representative of Michigan, John Moolenaar, republican and president of the restricted committee of the Chinese Communist Party (PCC), and the Democratic Representative Raja Krishnamoorthhi of Illinois, member of the Committee classification, reports Cybernews.
“We are in a new cold war – and AI is strategic technology at the center. The CCP does not innovate – it flies, scales and subverts, ”says Moolenaar.
Deep rivals
The Chinese model in depth has quickly increased in popularity as a rival for existing Western AI models – costing the cost to be made and obtaining impressive results.
However, Deepseek, as for all AI models, is accompanied by confidentiality problems, and legislators argue that this endangers data, especially if these users enter into place relevant information to work within government organizations.
“From the smuggling of theft and chips to the integration of AI in surveillance and military platforms, the Chinese Communist Party rushes to arm this technology. We have to draw a clear line: American government systems cannot be fueled by tools built to serve authoritarian interests, “said Moolenaar.
If this new bill is adopted, all government agencies will join the list of private companies and ministries that have also prohibited Deepseek, such as Microsoft, the American trade department and the US Navy.
The new bill will force the Federal Acquisition Security Council in the United States to create and maintain a list accessible to the public of AI models developed in “opponents” listed – and government agencies could not use or buy any of these models without exemption from the American Congress – probably in cases of research or test.
