Rep. Darin LaHood (R-IL) argues that DeepSeek, a Chinese AI app, poses a national security threat and should be banned from all American devices, similar to TikTok. He expresses concerns about the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) involvement with the app and its potential to advance China's agenda against the US.
On Friday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Rep. Darin LaHood discussed his push to ban Chinese AI app DeepSeek from government devices and stated that he believes Congress will ultimately need to act on DeepSeek in a way that applies to all American devices and stated, “similar to what we did with TikTok, we should be looking at it.” And “We cannot trust the CCP to be involved with this app and this AI apparatus.
Co-host John Berman asked, “Right now, you’re trying to ban it from government devices. Ultimately, do you think you’ll need to take action on all devices in the U.S.?” LaHood responded, “Of course, similar to what we did with TikTok, we should be looking at it. I also would say this, John, I start with the predicate — let’s not forget, China has a plan to replace the United States, and they’re working at it every single day. They want to beat us technologically, militarily, economically, diplomatically. And, again, it’s interesting, on DeepSeek, you will never see any criticism of Xi Jinping, of the Party.

Microsoft, which holds a 49% stake in OpenAI, discovered last fall that individuals linked to DeepSeek had extracted a significant amount of data via OpenAI's API. This news has sparked controversy, with some pointing out the irony of OpenAI accusing DeepSeek of practices similar to those OpenAI itself has been accused of.
