US lawmakers are planning to introduce a bill on Thursday that would ban the chatbot app DeepSeek from devices owned by the US government.
This was announced on Thursday by the Wall Street Journal, without providing further details, Reuters reported.
DeepSeek is a Chinese Artificial Intelligence (AI) startup that set a download record and caused tech stocks in the United States to plummet.
Weeks ago, this app launched its latest model, DeepSeek R1, which it said rivaled the technology developed by ChatGPT creator OpenAI in its capabilities, while taking much less time to create.
