  • A coalition of 21 Republican AGs, led by Montana AG Austin Knudsen, is urging Congress to pass the No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act, which would prohibit downloading and using DeepSeek’s AI software on government devices.
  • In a letter to Congress, the AGs warn that DeepSeek poses national security risks due to its alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).  The letter claims the platform has the capability to send user data directly to the CCP and that users may unknowingly be creating accounts in China, exposing their identities and online activity to the Chinese government.
  • We previously reported on Texas AG Ken Paxton’s investigation into DeepSeek’s privacy practices and its claims that its AI model rivals the most advanced AI models in the world, including OpenAI.
