Why is the Defence Department exempt?

The US Defence Department is exempt from the DeepSeek AI ban because it operates under stricter, separate security protocols. Military systems often have their own internal AI development or use highly vetted, specialised technology. This exemption highlights the different levels of risk assessment and security measures across government branches.
