US lawmakers are pushing for a DeepSeek ban after security researchers found the app transferring user data to a banned state-owned company.<\/p>\n

DeepSeek, practically unknown just weeks ago, took the tech world by storm\u2014gaining global acclaim for its cutting-edge performance while sparking debates reminiscent of the TikTok saga.<\/p>\n

Its rise has been fuelled in part by its business model: unlike many of its American counterparts, including OpenAI and Google, DeepSeek offered its advanced powers for free.<\/p>\n

However, concerns have been raised about DeepSeek\u2019s extensive data collection practices and a probe has been launched by Microsoft and OpenAI over a breach of the latter\u2019s system by a group allegedly linked to the Chinese AI startup.<\/p>\n

A threat to US AI dominance<\/h3>\n

DeepSeek\u2019s astonishing capabilities have, within a matter of weeks, positioned it as a major competitor to American AI stalwarts like OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Google Gemini. But, alongside the app\u2019s prowess, concerns have emerged over alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).<\/p>\n

Alongside the app’s capabilities, concerns have also been raised about its potential impact on US AI dominance.<\/p>\n
