No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act

# No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would prohibit U.S. federal government employees from using DeepSeek—a Chinese artificial intelligence chatbot—on government computers and devices. The legislation aims to prevent the use of this AI application across all executive branch agencies and would likely require the government to implement technical measures to block access to DeepSeek on official networks and devices. **Who It Affects and Why** The bill directly affects federal employees who use government-issued computers and smartphones. Supporters argue that DeepSeek poses security and privacy risks because it's developed by a Chinese company, potentially raising concerns about data collection, surveillance, or unauthorized access to sensitive government information.

The bill reflects broader concerns about foreign technology access to U.S. government systems. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. It has not advanced to become law.
