A new U.S. House report on DeepSeek highlights how one Chinese AI model may be quietly reshaping global AI strategy — and risking American data privacy.
The House Select Committee on the CCP has released findings on DeepSeek’s R1 model, revealing:
- $420M in funding from High-Flyer Quant, a Chinese trading firm
- Access to 10,000+ NVIDIA A100 chips via the Firefly supercomputing infrastructure
- Ties to China's surveillance ecosystem, including China Mobile
- Allegations of illegal training data use and export control circumvention
- App behavior that mimics spyware: collecting device IDs, typing cadence, and chat history
Lawmakers warn that DeepSeek:
- Functions as an open-source intelligence asset for China
- Circumvented guardrails from U.S. AI companies to accelerate its own development
- Operates under a tightly controlled tech ecosystem with deep state-linked partnerships
An OpenAI exec told the committee that DeepSeek “circumvented guardrails to extract reasoning outputs,” accelerating their model using techniques like distillation — potentially copying U.S. tech at lower cost.
Even more concerning:
- User data is routed via infrastructure tied to China Mobile
- DeepSeek does not encrypt much of its traffic
- It censors content critical of the Chinese government
What this means:
- Export controls alone aren’t enough — the U.S. must improve early threat tracking
- Agencies should restrict procurement and usage of Chinese AI models
- More visibility and scrutiny are needed around AI supply chains and infrastructure
At Efani, we believe real AI security starts with understanding who’s behind the tools we use — and where our data ends up. This report is a wake-up call for all of us building or relying on AI systems today.
Do "reasoning" #LLMs like #DeepSeek's truly deliberate?
Wang et al. found such #AI systems exhibited cognitive biases.
And injecting phrases like "wait, let me think about it" may have exacerbated one bias!
They dub this "superficial reflection bias".

I treat #AI like special needs students. Some can see. Some can't. Some can remember. Some can't. Some can fold proteins. Most can't. US #AI won't talk about politics. But other countries #AI will. #DeepSeek is Chinese. #FromTheMouthsOfBabes
@NORADCommand I recently read where the US Military is going to spend on the development of the @USNavyResearch
I read a study decades ago that said that submarines were needed but ships were vulnerable. I just had one hell of a conversation with #Deepseek #AI Thought I'd share

Адміністрація Трампа розглядає запровадження нових обмежень щодо китайської лабораторії штучного інтелекту #DeepSeek, які можуть заборонити їй купівлю ШІ-чипів NVIDIA, а також потенційно заблокувати доступ громадян США до її сервісів.

Chinese artificial intelligence firm DeepSeek is a "profound threat” to U.S. national security, a bipartisan House committee said Wednesday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/17/world/politics/deepseek-security-threat-us/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #china #ai #deepseek #us #tech
Trump regime is weighing barring Americans' access to DeepSeek. 
A report from the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party claims while DeepSeek “presents itself as just another AI chatbot,” the company “siphons” user data for the Chinese government and relies on stolen U.S. technology.

"Völlig unklar bleibt, wie DeepSeek die erhobenen Daten verarbeitet und zu welchen Zwecken sie genutzt werden. Zudem können der chinesische Geheimdienst sowie Sicherheitsbehörden nach chinesischem Recht die Datenherausgabe verlangen, was die Gefahr staatlicher Zugriffe ohne Wissen der Nutzer massiv erhöht."

@jeffjarvis PS The analysis was provided by #Deepseek a #Chinese #AI. #Google #Gemini, a #US #AI refuses to discuss the political situation in the US and be critical of #Wealthy #White #Conservative #Politicians. So, we have to use #AI from #Foreign countries to get answers. #USTech is complicit as well.
