The No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act would prohibit federal executive agencies from using the DeepSeek artificial intelligence application or any successor services owned by the Chinese company High Flyer on government information technology systems. Within 60 days of enactment, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget—working with cybersecurity, intelligence, and defense officials—must develop standards requiring all executive agencies to remove the DeepSeek application from their devices and networks. The bill includes exceptions for authorized law enforcement, national security activities, and security research, though agencies using DeepSeek under these exceptions would need to document and implement risk mitigation measures. The legislation does not specify funding amounts, as the primary requirement is administrative compliance through existing cybersecurity authorities rather than new appropriations. No timeline is provided for implementation beyond the 60-day period for developing the initial standards and guidelines.
