New bill could see DeepSeek and Chinese AI models banned in government departments

• A new bill is coming in which might see AI models from 'adversarial nations' banned
• Models such as DeepSeek will be prohibited
• Many private firms have already banned the model

Artificial intelligence models built in China, Iran, Russia, or the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea could soon be banned from use in government agencies thanks to the newly introduced ‘No Adversarial AI Act’.

Lawmakers introduced this bill in both the House and Senate by Michigan Rep. John Moolenaar, a Republican and Chair of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and Democrat Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois, a ranking member on the committee, CyberNews reports.

“We are in a new Cold War—and AI is the strategic technology at the center. The CCP doesn’t innovate—it steals, scales, and subverts," argues Moolenaar.
