US congressional workplaces have actually been alerted versus setting up the Chinese AI app DeepSeek, Axios reported on Thursday, pointing out a notice issued by the chief administrative officer of the US Legislature.

According to Axios, the notice stated, "At this time, DeepSeek is under evaluation by the CAO and is currently unauthorized for main House usage."

The emergence of DeepSeek, a low-cost Chinese AI model, has actually raised concerns about its potential to challenge the market supremacy of US-based AI giants like OpenAI and Alphabet's Google.

Last week, DeepSeek introduced a free AI assistant that it claims operates with lower information use and at a portion of the expense of US designs. Within days, it ended up being the many downloaded app on Apple's App Store, fueling concerns about US leadership in AI. This advancement added to a market shake-up that erased approximately $1 trillion in value from US tech stocks.
