Protection Against Foreign Adversarial Artificial Intelligence Act of 2025

This bill blocks federal contractors from using DeepSeek or similar AI tools developed by High Flyer (or its affiliates) for government work, with limited security waivers allowed for national defense or research. It requires a detailed report within one year on national security risks from AI platforms based in or linked to "countries of concern" (as defined in existing law). The report must analyze data privacy threats, including how U.S. user data stored in these platforms could be accessed by foreign governments, used for propaganda, or exploited for economic espionage. The law aims to protect U.S. data security and prevent foreign adversaries from leveraging AI systems for strategic advantage.
