US Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) has introduced legislation seeking to ban DeepSeek, the newly launched AI tool making waves as a competitor to ChatGPT, within the United States.
The proposed bill, introduced last week, aims to prevent US individuals and entities from contributing to the development of artificial intelligence in the People's Republic of China, among other provisions. Harvard AI research fellow Ben Brooks described it as 'easily the most aggressive legislative action on AI' to date.
