October 20 news, many people did not expect that the U.S. side suddenly introduced targeted restrictive measures against the Chinese AI company DeepSeek.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has officially issued regulations prohibiting the use of the full range of products from the Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek in U.S. government computer systems. The relevant announcement has been publicly released in the official notice in the U.S. government official document compilation the Federal Register, with no buffer period for advance notice throughout.
According to the explicit requirements of this public document, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has officially ordered that all IT information systems of civil departments must delete all DeepSeek products, all development results related to the company, and all third-party derivative products created using DeepSeek development results.
In addition, this directive also clearly sets out the red line for subsequent access: all governed U.S. federal civil departments may no longer procure any related products under DeepSeek in the future, directly cutting off the possibility of the product entering the U.S. government affairs system from the procurement source.
The U.S. side claims that the development results of DeepSeek constitute a threat.
