AI and Legal Challenges

DeepSeek Downloads Could Become Federal Offense Under New Bill

A controversial bill advancing in Congress could make downloading Chinese AI models like DeepSeek a federal crime, with penalties of up to 20 years in prison.

Details:

The bill bans Chinese AI tech, including model weights, software, and even research, covering any info needed for AI development
It criminalizes exports and sharing AI models with "entities of concern," risking 20-year sentences—impacting releases like Llama 4
Academic ties with Chinese institutions are barred, with fines up to $1M per person, $100M per company, and deportation for non-citizens

This bill could reshape global AI collaboration, impacting users, researchers, and tech giants as the AI community watches closely.
