US orders removal of China's DeepSeek products from federal civilian agencies

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has directed federal civilian agencies to discontinue the use of products created by Chinese artificial intelligence firm DeepSeek, according to an official notice published on Monday. This directive, set to be formally published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, pertains to IT products and services developed by Hangzhou-based DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co. and its subsidiaries.

The department announced the order under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act of 2018, following an assessment of a recommendation by the Federal Acquisition Security Council and supporting evidence. The order pertains to federal civilian agency IT systems and procurement processes, rather than instituting a blanket prohibition on the utilization of DeepSeek products by private enterprises or individuals within the United States.
