This bill aims to protect the United States from artificial intelligence applications linked to countries of concern. It achieves this through a direct prohibition on certain AI tool usage and by mandating a comprehensive report on related national security threats. Specifically, the legislation prohibits Federal contractors from utilizing the DeepSeek application, or any successor service developed by High Flyer, for the fulfillment or support of any Federal contract. A waiver for this prohibition may be granted by the Secretary of Commerce for national security objectives or research purposes. Furthermore, the bill mandates the Secretary of Commerce to submit a detailed report within one year on national security threats posed by artificial intelligence platforms based in or affiliated with countries of concern. This report must analyze critical areas such as censorship laws, the use of AI for state-sponsored propaganda, the impact of export control circumvention, and privacy and data security threats to United States data, including risks of economic espionage and access by foreign governments, concluding with recommendations for addressing these risks.
