DeepSeek fires back at U.S.federal agency ban as ‘overstretching of the concept of national security’

China has criticized the United States for banning DeepSeek AI from federal systems. The U.S. government justifies this decision by stating that DeepSeek models present multiple threat vectors, specifically citing servers hosted in China and the risk of sensitive data access. In response, DeepSeek has condemned the ban, describing the action as an overstretching of the concept of national security. Both nations remain in conflict over the security implications of the AI technology.
