US Navy bans use of DeepSeek over national security concerns

The US Navy has instructed its members against using Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) platform DeepSeek due to national and ethical concerns.

The Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) startup DeepSeek became famous overnight due to its cost-effective models, which startled industry insiders, unnerved investors, and wowed competitors.

Even the US President Donald Trump commented on DeepSeek’s breakthrough, describing it as a “positive thing.” Its impact triggered Monday’s trillion-dollar global market sell-off, with AI-related companies emerging as some of its largest losers.
