The US Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has released a report on national security concerns presented by DeepSeek. The report includes findings that: (1) “DeepSeek funnels Americans’ data to the PRC through backend infrastructure connected to a US government-designated Chinese military company”; (2) “DeepSeek covertly manipulates the results it presents to align with CCP propaganda, as required by Chinese law”; (3) “It is highly likely that DeepSeek used unlawful model distillation techniques to create its model, stealing from leading US AI models”; and (4) “DeepSeek’s AI model appears to be powered by advanced chips provided by American semiconductor giant Nvidia and reportedly utilizes tens of thousands of chips that are currently restricted from export to the PRC”. The report recommends the US government to take swift action to expand export controls, improve export control enforcement, and address risks from PRC AI models.
