No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act

# No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act – Summary **What the bill would do:** If passed, this bill would require federal government agencies to remove the DeepSeek artificial intelligence application from all government computers and devices. DeepSeek is a Chinese AI company founded in 2023. The bill would also ban any successor applications created by DeepSeek's parent company, High Flyer (a hedge fund). The Office of Management and Budget would be tasked with developing the specific standards and rules for this removal. **Who it affects:** The bill directly impacts federal government agencies and their employees who use government-issued devices.

It could indirectly affect any government services or operations that rely on DeepSeek technology. There would be no direct impact on private citizens or businesses using the app. **Current status:** The bill (HR 1121) was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Josh Gottheimer, a Democrat from New Jersey. It is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill appears to be based on national security concerns related to the application's Chinese ownership and funding structure.
