Why ban DeepSeek AI now?

The US government's decision to ban DeepSeek AI from most civilian systems stems from national security concerns. While the summary doesn't explicitly state the reason, such bans often relate to potential data espionage or the risk of foreign governments accessing sensitive information through the software. DeepSeek's Chinese origin likely plays a role in this assessment.
