New US Congressional Bill Makes Downloading DeepSeek a Crime, with a Maximum Penalty of 20 Years in Prison and a $1 Million Fine

the US Congress recently proposed the "2025 US Artificial Intelligence Capability and China Decoupling Act", which prohibits Americans from assisting China in promoting AI and prohibits Americans from downloading or using DeepSeek. Violators will be classified as criminals and may face up to 20 years in prison and a fine of $1 million.

The bill states that individuals or companies in the United States who cooperate with Chinese universities, colleges, or laboratories in the field of AI may be in violation of the law. Violating companies may be fined up to $100 million. In addition, non-US citizens involved in technology transfer may face deportation.
