China's DeepSeek AI on US national security radar

US officials are considering the national security implications of an apparent artificial intelligence (AI) breakthrough by Chinese firm DeepSeek, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. The announcement comes as there were reports the US navy has banned its members from using DeepSeek's apps due to "potential security and ethical concerns".

Meanwhile, the maker of ChatGPT, OpenAI, has promised to work closely with the US government to prevent rivals from taking its technology. Earlier this week, DeepSeek's reportedly cheap yet powerful AI model caused a slump in the stocks of US technology firms as investors questioned the billions of dollars they are spending on new AI infrastructure.
