U.S. House offices have been told to avoid using Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) software DeepSeek, according to a notice to staffers obtained by The Epoch Times.

“Threat actors are already exploiting DeepSeek to deliver malicious software and infect devices,” the chief administrative officer (CAO) of the House said in a mass email to congressional offices.
