According to Reuters on June 25, US lawmakers from both parties have introduced a bill in Congress titled the "No Adversarial AI Act", which seeks to ban federal government agencies from using AI models developed by China, including the DeepSeek AI system.
Republican lawmakers argue that the US is already engaged in a "new cold war" with China, with artificial intelligence being a pivotal technology for determining the future global power balance. They advocate for a complete decoupling of US-China collaboration in AI technology, intellectual property, R&D, and investment, calling this move essential for protecting national security and economic interests.
Democratic lawmakers share concerns over the risks posed by foreign-developed AI, emphasizing threats to data security, government operations, and the integrity of the national defense system.
The proposed legislation will require approval from both chambers of Congress and the President's signature to become law. While there is bipartisan agreement on the risks associated with AI, lawmakers remain divided on the specific paths for regulation and enforcement.
