U.S. orders DeepSeek removed from federal IT systems as China AI curbs expand

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security ordered federal civilian agencies to remove the Chinese AI model DeepSeek and related third-party services from their IT systems, and banned new procurement of such products. DHS cited multiple threat pathways and warned sensitive data could be transferred to China. It also raised concerns about malware or other security vulnerabilities. The memo also told agencies to review traffic flows to and from government websites.
