Recently, OpenAI shared a letter offering some recommendations to the US government regarding the protection of the local AI industry. In the letter, OpenAI also proposes that the US officially ban the use of DeepSeek AI in government or military segments.

OpenAI has called out Chinese AI start-up DeepSeek as "state-subsidized" and "state-controlled," in a new policy proposal. The organization is calling on the US government to consider banning models from DeepSeek and other People's Republic of China (PRC)-backed operations.
