A senior U.S. official disclosed that the Chinese AI firm DeepSeek is aiding China's military by circumventing U.S. export restrictions on advanced semiconductor chips. DeepSeek reportedly provides AI technology utilizing U.S. chips to support military and intelligence operations, including surveillance. The official noted that DeepSeek has access to NVIDIA's H100 chips, despite U.S. bans. Nvidia stated that DeepSeek used H800 products instead. DeepSeek has not commented on these allegations.
