Дотоод аюулгүй байдлын яамнаас холбооны иргэний байгууллагуудад Хятадын хиймэл оюун ухааны DeepSeek лабораторийн бүтээгдэхүүнийг ашиглахыг хориглож, одоо байгаа шийдлүүдийг нэн даруй устгах үүрэг өглөө.
АНУ-ын Дотоод аюулгүй байдлын яам (DHS) DeepSeek болон түүний харьяа байгууллагуудын технологи, түүнчлэн тус лабораторийн технологийг ашиглан хөгжүүлсэн гуравдагч талын бүх программ хангамжийг ашиглахыг хориглосон шийдвэр гаргалаа. Энэхүү шийдвэр нь DeepSeek-ийн загваруудыг API болон OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway зэрэг хиймэл оюун ухааны гарц үйлчилгээнүүдээр дамжуулан санамсаргүй байдлаар ашиглахаас сэргийлэх зорилготой юм.
АНУ-ын хууль тогтоогчид DeepSeek-ийн хиймэл оюун ухааны загварууд нь Америкийн иргэдийн мэдээллийг цуглуулж, Хятадын засгийн газарт дамжуулдаг гэж үзэн үндэсний аюулгүй байдалд заналхийлж буй хүчин зүйл хэмээн тодорхойлсон. 2025 оны эхээр DeepSeek-R1 загвар гарснаас хойш АНУ-ын Батлан хамгаалах яам, Тэнгисийн цэргийн хүчин, NASA зэрэг байгууллагууд уг технологийг хэдийнэ хориглосон бөгөөд одоо иргэний байгууллагууд ч энэ жишгийг дагаж байна.
Luta Security компанийн гүйцэтгэх захирал Кэти Муссурисийн үзэж байгаагаар, DeepSeek-ийн өөрийн аппликейшн болон API-г хориглох нь үндэслэлтэй боловч “DeepSeek-ийн технологийг ашиглан хөгжүүлсэн” гэх тодорхой бус заалт нь хэрэгжилтэд хүндрэл учруулж болзошгүй юм. Программ хангамж хөгжүүлэгчид кодоо бичих, турших явцдаа DeepSeek-ийг ашигласан эсэхийг баталгаажуулах практик арга байхгүй байгаа нь уг хоригийг хэт өргөн хүрээтэй болгож байна гэж тэрээр тэмдэглэжээ.
Түүнчлэн DeepSeek-ийн гар утасны аппликейшнүүд нь мэдээлэл алдагдуулах, SSL баталгаажуулалт дутагдалтай байх зэрэг аюулгүй байдлын сул талтай болохыг 2025 оны арванхоёрдугаар сарын тайланд дурдсан. Гэвч шинжээчдийн зүгээс эдгээр нь ихэнх аппликейшнд тохиолддог нийтлэг асуудал бөгөөд гол эрсдэл нь хиймэл оюун ухааны агентуудад оруулсан нууц мэдээлэл болон текстэн сануулгуудыг цуглуулах явдал гэж үзэж байна.

The US Department of Homeland Security on Monday issued an order directing federal civilian agencies not to use technology products from Chinese AI lab DeepSeek, and to remove any existing implementations. The order [PDF] is broad, as it requires agencies to ditch “all DeepSeek and DeepSeek-affiliate products, and third-party products and services developed using DeepSeek implementations.” Complying will be tricky as it is not clear which third-party products and services have been developed using DeepSeek’s wares. Nor is it clear whether “developed using” means providing ongoing access to DeepSeek models via API or simply refers to any app vibe-coded with the help of DeepSeek. It also leaves open the question of AI gateways. Services such as OpenRouter and Vercel AI Gateway make DeepSeek’s models available through APIs. And those using gateway services may find themselves using DeepSeek models without meaning to do so. OpenRouter, for example, “routes requests to the best available providers for your model.” It selects what the service deems to be the best fit provider of AI services. Vercel AI Gateway does the same by default. So federal civilian agencies could be using DeepSeek models inadvertently, if they haven’t taken steps to constrain their AI providers. A DHS spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. US officials have contemplated a ban on DeepSeek since the China-based AI lab released DeepSeek-R1 in early 2025. On February 6, 2025, US Representative Darin LaHood (R-IL) and US Representative Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) introduced the No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act. The lawmakers characterised DeepSeek as a national security threat because its AI models purportedly capture data on US citizens and provide it to the Chinese government. The bill never made it out of committee, but various government agencies followed through. The US Defense community and lawmakers have already exiled DeepSeek. The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) started blocking DeepSeek on the Pentagon’s IT networks in January 2025. The US Navy, NASA, and the US House of Representatives took similar steps. So did various US states. While the DHS announcement has taken a long time to reach civilian agencies, its timing may be a boon for American AI companies which, like Anthropic, hope to soon go public. That’s because open weight models represent competition, and those from China have proven particularly popular both in terms of capabilities and cost. Government agencies that cannot deploy such models (and the taxpayers who fund those agencies) may be stuck paying the prices set by favored US model makers. Concerns about the security and privacy of DeepSeek’s iOS mobile app surfaced shortly after DeepSeek-R1 debuted. Several months later, a December 2025 report on the DeekSeek mobile app for Android and iOS cited similar concerns, including plaintext information leaks, links to servers run by Chinese tech firms, and shortcomings like lack of SSL pinning. These issues, however, are mainly mobile security problems that afflict many apps, particularly those that integrate third-party advertising SDKs from companies based outside the US. They don’t really address the additional risks posed by the capture of text prompts and responses, or how local secrets and other sensitive information can be ingested by AI agents. Katie Moussouris, founder and CEO of Luta Security, told The Register in an email that while there are legitimate national security reasons to keep DeepSeek’s app and servers away from government systems, the way this particular order is written exceeds that requirement in ways that aren’t practical. “Banning DeepSeek’s own app and API is workable,” said Moussouris. “The problem is the ban on ‘third-party products and services developed using DeepSeek implementations.’ The order doesn’t say what ‘developed using’ means. It could technically cover any model derived from DeepSeek and more importantly, any software whose developers used DeepSeek to write or test code. An AI software bill of materials doesn’t record which tools developers used, so it would be no real help. Every vendor would have to attest that nothing it relies on ever touched DeepSeek. There’s no practical way to verify that.” Moussouris also took issue with the breadth of the order, noting that applying the rules to US-hosted versions of DeepSeek’s models goes too far. “The risks the order cites are mostly about data flowing to DeepSeek’s servers in China, its data collection, and its app,” she said. “US hosting avoids most of those. “For the model itself, the order says only that it may contain malware or vulnerabilities, which is true of all software. NIST found DeepSeek more vulnerable to prompt injection than US models, though every model has that problem. NIST also found it easier to jailbreak, but jailbreak guardrails often get in the way of defenders.” ®
