WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 (Yonhap) -- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ordered federal civilian agencies to remove products developed by Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) startup DeepSeek from their information technology systems and barred them from procuring such products, according to a federal notice released Monday.

The order, detailed in a notice scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, applies to information technology products and services developed by Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co. and its affiliated entities.

The restrictions also cover third-party products and services developed using DeepSeek implementations.

The department said the order was issued under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act of 2018 following a review of a recommendation by the Federal Acquisition Security Council and related evidence.

The order applies to federal civilian agency IT systems and procurements, rather than imposing a general ban on the use of DeepSeek products by private businesses or individuals in the United States.

The South Korean government also moved to restrict the use of DeepSeek in February 2025, with its foreign, trade and defense ministries blocking access to the Chinese AI service on government computers amid concerns over user data collection and potential information leaks.

华盛顿，10 月 19 日（韩联社）——美国国土安全部 (DHS) 周一发布的一份联邦通知显示，该部门已下令联邦民事机构从其信息技术系统中移除中国人工智能 (AI) 初创公司 DeepSeek 开发的产品，并禁止其采购此类产品。

该命令的详细说明将在周二于《联邦公报》上发布的通知中公布，该命令适用于杭州迪普思人工智能有限公司及其关联实体开发的信息技术产品和服务。

这些限制还涵盖使用 DeepSeek 实现开发的第三方产品和服务。

该部门表示，该命令是根据 2018 年《联邦采购供应链安全法》发布的，此前联邦采购安全委员会提出了一项建议并审查了相关证据。

该命令适用于联邦民事机构的 IT 系统和采购，而不是对美国私营企业或个人使用 DeepSeek 产品实施普遍禁止。

韩国政府也于 2025 年 2 月采取措施限制 DeepSeek 的使用，其外交部、贸易部和国防部出于对用户数据收集和潜在信息泄露的担忧，阻止了政府电脑访问这款中国人工智能服务。
