Tech from Chinese AI firm DeepSeek is being banned in many countries. Here's all the governments and agencies that have prohibited DeepSeek's AI.

In a statement, the Taiwan ministry said that public sector workers and critical infrastructure facilities run the risk of “cross-border transmission and information leakage” by using DeepSeek’s technology. In a statement, Abbott said that Texas “will not allow the Chinese Communist Party to infiltrate our state’s critical infrastructure through data-harvesting AI and social media apps. Bloomberg notes that while the prohibition remains in place, Defense Department personnel can use DeepSeek’s AI through Ask Sage, an authorized platform that doesn’t directly connect to Chinese servers.
