US Bans DeepSeek From Civilian Agencies as AI Rivalry With China Intensifies. The United States has banned DeepSeek artificial intelligence technology from civilian government agencies amid rising China tensions. The Homeland Security directive also covers technology developed using the Chinese company's artificial intelligence models and tools. Announced publicly on Monday, the ban took effect in late July but does not cover Defense agencies. Homeland Security did not specify its security concerns, although Washington has repeatedly criticized Chinese artificial intelligence companies. OpenAI and Anthropic have accused Chinese rivals, including DeepSeek, of copying their models, adding to industry tensions. President Donald Trump views China as America's main competitor in developing artificial intelligence, a major national priority. DeepSeek's freely accessible models have attracted startups and American technology companies seeking cheaper alternatives to proprietary systems. Its rapid growth highlights mounting competition over AI costs, capabilities and security as Washington tightens government restrictions.
