The US has delayed blacklisting Chinese AI company DeepSeek and more than 100 other firms deemed security risks. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
According to sources, the US administration postponed adding DeepSeek to the blacklist because the move could further strain relations with China. Companies on the blacklist face restrictions on purchasing American technology and equipment.
DeepSeek is one of China's leading artificial intelligence startups. US authorities consider the company a potential national security threat. However, no decision has been made yet on its blacklisting.
Reuters reported that the US administration continues to review the matter of blacklisting DeepSeek. The decision may be made in the context of ongoing trade and technology conflicts with China.
