DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, is accused of supporting China's military operations while using sophisticated methods to circumvent US export controls on semiconductor technology. Reports citing a senior US State Department official suggest that the company has ties to the Chinese military and has been involved in programs accessed by China's People's Liberation Army. This raises significant concerns about data security, especially as DeepSeek's AI models have been widely adopted in US cloud services, where millions of American users may unwittingly be exposed to risks from this compromised technology.
We understand that DeepSeek has willingly provided and will likely continue to provide support to China's military and intelligence operations, raising serious questions about data security for Americans.
DeepSeek sought to use shell companies in Southeast Asia to evade export controls, seeking to access US chips remotely, as their AI models gained adoption across US platforms.
