DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence application, has raised concerns among lawmakers, with two members of the House of Representatives imploring governors to act as they attempt regulation at the federal level.

Reps. Darin LaHood (R-IL) and Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), both members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, have proposed legislation banning DeepSeek on federal government devices. Now, they are taking their plea to governors. The two congressmen wrote to governors across the country imploring them to ban DeepSeek on government devices at the state level.
