美国广播公司新闻独家报道了DeepSeek人工智能工具中的隐藏链接,该链接可能会将数据发送给中国国有电信公司,众议员乔希·戈特海默(新泽西州民主党)要求迅速采取行动。
“我认为我们应该立即禁止所有政府设备使用DeepSeek。任何人都不应该被允许下载到他们的设备上,”众议院情报委员会成员Gottheimer告诉ABC新闻。
戈特海默(Gottheimer)周四提出的一项新法案名为“禁止政府设备上的DeepSeek法案”(No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act),它将要求管理和预算办公室(Office of Management and Budget)在60天内制定将deep seek从联邦技术中移除的指导方针,但执法和国家安全相关活动除外。
该法案将禁止联邦设备使用DeepSeek,以及人工智能工具High-Flyer的对冲基金支持者开发的任何未来产品。
此前,美国众议院首席行政官上周发布了一份备忘录,敦促员工不要使用DeepSeek。
戈特海默是抖音法案背后的立法者之一,该法案于2024年4月通过,并导致该应用的美国用户在唐纳德·特朗普总统第二次就职典礼的前一天停电24小时。
网络安全研究公司Feroot的首席执行官兼创始人伊万·察尔尼(Ivan Tsarynny)告诉美国广播公司新闻(ABC News),他发现了隐藏代码,能够将数据发送到中国政府控制的服务器,这引发了人们对DeepSeek可能对国家安全构成风险的担忧。
“尽管我们都知道DeepSeek是一家中国公司,但现在真正突出的是我们看到了与服务器和公司的直接链接中国在中国政府的控制下。这是我们过去从未见过的。"
“DeepSeek网站中嵌入了跟踪我们的技术。他们有能力跟踪任何其他网站…你在DeepSeek之外的兴趣,”Tsarynny告诉ABC新闻。“你在DeepSeek中提出和分析的查询类型、问题类型和主题类型构成了一个非常敏感、非常个人化的个人资料。”
DeepSake和High-Flyer没有回复记者的多次置评请求。
Lawmakers propose new legislation to ban DeepSeek from federal devices
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) is demanding swift action after ABC News' exclusive reporting about hidden links in DeepSeek's artificial intelligence tool that could potentially send data to a Chinese state-owned telecommunications company.
"I think we should ban DeepSeek from all government devices immediately. No one should be allowed to download it onto their device," Gottheimer, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, told ABC News.
A new bill Gottheimer proposed on Thursday is called the "No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act" and it would require the Office of Management and Budget to develop guidelines within 60 days for the removal of DeepSeek from federal technologies, with exceptions for law enforcement and national security-related activity.
The bill would ban DeepSeek from federal devices as well as any future product developed by High-Flyer, the artificial intelligent tool's hedge fund backers.
This comes after the U.S. House of Representatives chief administrative officer issued a memo urging staffers against using DeepSeek last week.
Gottheimer is one of the lawmakers behind the TikTok bill, which passed in April 2024 and led to a 24-hour blackout for the app's American users the day before President Donald Trump's second inauguration.
There are fears DeepSeek could pose a risk to national security after Ivan Tsarynny, CEO and founder of cybersecurity research firm Feroot, told ABC News he found hidden code with the capability to send data to servers under the control of the Chinese government.
"Even though we all know DeepSeek is a Chinese organization, what is really, really standing out is now we see direct links to servers and to companies inChinathat are under control of the Chinese government. And this is something that we have never seen in the past."
"There are technologies that are embedded into the DeepSeek website that are tracking us. They have the capability to track across any other website… your interests outside of DeepSeek," Tsarynny told ABC News. "The type of queries, type of questions, types of topics that you ask and analyze in DeepSeek makes a very, very sensitive, very personal profile."
DeepSake and High-Flyer have not responded to repeated requests for comment.
