A bipartisan pair at the US House is already proposing a law to ban the Chinese Artificial Intelligence App Dipp, for the popular social media platform Tikok, from Federal devices.
A Democrat from New Jersey, and a Republican Lahud in Illinois, on Thursday introduced “No Dipsek on the Act of Government Equipments”, which did not use the Chinese AI app on government-outs will be. You cited the ability of the Chinese government to monitor and use misinformation, as reasons for keeping it away from the federal network.
“The Chinese Communist Party has clearly made it clear that it will take advantage of any tool at its own disposal under national security, provoke harmful disintegration, and collect data on Americans,” Gottheimmer said in a statement. “We can’t just risk CCP to infiltrate our government officials’ equipment and endanger our national security.”
The proposal was published in January after the Chinese software company, an AI model, which was performed on a competitive level with models developed by American firms such as OpenI, Meta, Alphabet and others. Deepsek asked to develop models at an excerpt from the cost of its American counterparts. The declaration instigated alarm bells and inspired the debate between policy makers and lead silicon Valley financers and technologists.
The churning on AI is coming in a moment of increased competition between the US and China in many fields, including technological innovation. The US has imposed taffs on Chinese goods, banned Chinese technical firms such as Huawei from being in government systems, and banned the export of the state of art microchips required to develop the highest end AI model.
Last year, the Congress and the then President Joe Biden approved the division of the popular social media platform Tiktok from their Chinese -origin company or faced a ban in the whole of America; That policy is now on hold. President Donald Trump, who originally banned the app in his first term, signed an executive order last month, which legally expanded a window for a long -term solution before imposing necessary restrictions.
In 2023, Biden banned Tikok from federal-banded equipment.
Lahud said in a statement, “Technology race with the Chinese Communist Party is not the same that can loose the United States.” “It will ban the app from the phone of the federal leader workers, while the company wants to exploit for access by closing the backdoor operations. Ensure leadership. “
Bill Wood Single Out Deepsek and any AI application were developed by its original company, Hedge Fund High-Flire, which is subject to the ban. Laws, including exceptions for national security and research objectives, will allow federal employers to study lampsakes.
Some MPs want to go ahead. A bill proposed last week by Josh Haley, a Republican Senator in Missouri, will prevent the export or export of any AI technology from Rit Large, citing national security concerns last week.
