It's time to ban Chinese AI app DeepSeek from 'government devices,' state AGs urge Congress

Trump counselor Alina Habba responds to concerns of China buying up American real estate on'The Ingraham Angle.' State attorneys general have joined the growing calls from elected officials urging Congress to pass a law banning the Chinese-owned DeepSeek AI app on all government devices, saying "China is a clear and present danger" to the U.S. "DeepSeek appears to be another tool for Chinese spies to attack America's national security," the letter, signed by 21 attorneys general to House and Senate leaders, said. "Given the Chinese desire to steal America's secrets and the ability of DeepSeek to carry out this theft, Congress should quickly pass legislation to ban DeepSeek on government devices," the letter read. "Congress passed similar legislation two years ago to prevent TikTok from stealing information from our government." Montana AG Austin Knudsen, who drafted the letter, wrote that "China is trying to steal America's secrets. Congress should shut down China's latest Trojan horse by passing the No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act."
