The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has directed federal civilian agencies to discontinue using products developed by the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek and prohibited them from acquiring such products, as per a federal notice published on Monday. The order, set to be published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, extends to information technology products and services crafted by Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co. and its related entities.
It also encompasses third-party products and services developed utilizing DeepSeek implementations. The DHS announced the directive under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act of 2018 following an examination of a recommendation from the Federal Acquisition Security Council and pertinent evidence. The restriction is confined to federal civilian agency IT systems and procurements, rather than instituting a blanket prohibition on the utilization of DeepSeek products by private enterprises or individuals within the United States. Similar measures are underway in South Korea.
