US Navy bans use of China’s DeepSeek due to ‘security and ethical concerns’ over its ‘origin’
The United States Navy has banned the use of China's DeepSeek artificial intelligence for its members due to ‘security and ethical concerns,’ according to a CNBC report. In a warning email on Friday, the US Navy said DeepSeek's AI was not to be used “in any capacity” due to “potential security and ethical concerns associated with the model's origin and usage”. US Navy's ban followed DeepSeek's release of R1, a powerful new reasoning AI model that competes with OpenAI's technology. In an early warning email, the US Navy said, “We would like to bring to your attention a critical update regarding a new AI model called DeepSeek.” According to CNBC, the email stated that it's “imperative” that team members do not use DeepSeek's AI “for any work-related tasks or personal use.” The email was sent on Friday morning to the distribution list OpNav, indicating that it was an all-hands memo, said CNBC.
