Bill Summary

A bill to prohibit the use of DeepSeek by the executive agencies, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits the use of DeepSeek, a specific application developed by High Flyer, on government devices across executive agencies. The legislation requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to develop standards and guidelines within 60 days of enactment that mandate the removal of the DeepSeek application from all information technology systems used by federal executive agencies. The bill defines "covered application" broadly to include DeepSeek and any successor applications created by High Flyer or its related entities. While implementing a comprehensive ban, the legislation also provides limited exceptions for law enforcement activities, national security interests, and security research. When such exceptions are applied, the affected agencies must develop and document specific risk mitigation actions to address potential security concerns. The bill aims to protect government information systems from potential risks associated with the DeepSeek application, reflecting ongoing concerns about technology and cybersecurity in government operations.
