  • OpenAI has sent a proposal to the Office of Science and Technology Policy that calls on the US government to ban the use of DeepSeek in governments, military, and intelligence services. Mentioning the Chinese AI by name, the proposal calls DeepSeek "state-subsidized" and "state-controlled".

The article from TechRadar discusses OpenAI's call for the U.S. government to ban DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, labeling it as "state-subsidized and state-controlled." OpenAI argues that DeepSeek's operations, which include developing AI technologies with significant government backing, pose a national security risk due to potential misuse of AI for surveillance, propaganda, and other strategic advantages against the U.S. The company highlights that DeepSeek's AI models could be used to enhance China's technological capabilities, thereby threatening global AI competition and security. OpenAI's plea comes amidst growing concerns over AI governance, ethics, and the geopolitical implications of AI development, urging for regulatory measures to ensure that AI advancements do not compromise democratic values or national interests.
