The US Navy has completely banned the use of AI developed by Chinese company DeepSeek.
The emergence of an inference model by Chinese company DeepSeek that has performance comparable to models from OpenAI and other American AI companies has been a hot topic, but it has been revealed that the US Navy has instructed its employees not to use DeepSeek's AI for either work or personal purposes.

DeepSeek's 'DeepSeek-R1-Zero' and 'DeepSeek-R1' have outperformed OpenAI o1 in benchmarks in the fields of coding, mathematics, and logic. On the other hand, the cost of use is only about 3% of OpenAI o1, which is a shock to the AI industry.

However, CNBC reports that the U.S. Navy has issued an email stating that the technology 'must not be used in any way' due to security and ethical concerns.
The email was sent as 'important updates about our new AI, DeepSeek,' and prohibited the use of DeepSeek's AI, saying, 'It is essential that you do not use it for work-related tasks or for personal purposes.'
A Navy spokesperson confirmed that the email obtained by CNBC was genuine and was sent by the Navy's chief information officer in accordance with the generative AI policy.
In the United States, there is a movement to be wary of platforms and applications developed and operated by 'hostile foreign countries,' i.e. China and other countries, and the 'Protecting Americans from Applications Controlled by Foreign Adversaries Act,' commonly known as the 'TikTok Ban Act,' enacted under the Biden administration, led to the temporary suspension of the popular app 'TikTok.' Even after that, it has not been reinstated in the app store.
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt said the National Security Council would review DeepSeek's national security implications.
