20 Years in Jail for Using DeepSeek

A U.S. senator has proposed a bill that could make it illegal to download or use the Chinese AI model DeepSeek in the U.S. While the bill is still in its early stages, if passed, it could lead to severe penalties for violators.

  • Senator Josh Hawley introduced a bill to prevent Americans from advancing AI technology in China.

  • Violators could face up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $1 million (for individuals) or $100 million (for companies).

  • The bill could effectively ban DeepSeek in the U.S. by restricting AI technology imports from China.

This proposal highlights growing U.S. concerns over China's AI development. If passed, it could significantly impact U.S.-China AI relations, technology transfers, and the global AI landscape.
