- A new bill is approaching in which you could see models of the ‘adverse nations’ prohibited
- Models like Deepseek will be prohibited
- Many private companies have already banned the model
The artificial intelligence models built in China, Iran, Russia or the Democratic Popular Republic of Korea could soon be prohibited from using government agencies thanks to the newly introduced “Law of Adversary”.
The legislators presented this bill both in the Chamber and in the Senate of the representative of Michigan John Molenaar, Republican and president of the Select Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (PCCH), and the Democratic representative Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois, a classification member in the committee, reports Cybernews.
“We are in a new cold war, and AI is strategic technology in the center. The PCCH does not innovate, steals, scales and subverts,” Moolenaar argues.
Speeek rivals
The Deepseek Chinese model increased popularity quickly as a rival of existing Western models, which cost a fraction of the cost of doing and achieving impressively similar results.
However, Deepseek, as with all AI models, comes with privacy problems, and legislators argue that this puts the data at risk, especially if these users enter relevant information to work within government organizations.
“From the theft of IP and the smuggling of chips to integrate the AI in surveillance and military platforms, the Chinese Communist Party is running to arm this technology. We must draw a clear line: the government systems of the United States cannot be fed by tools built to serve authoritarian interests,” said Moolenaar.
If this new bill is approved, all government agencies will join the list of private companies and government departments that have also prohibited Deepseek, such as Microsoft, the United States Department of Commerce and the United States Navy.
The new bill will require that the Federal Procurement Security Council of the USA.
