U.S. legislators are restricted by US trade restrictions in the “unknown waters”

Experts say that Chinese artificial intelligence startup Deepseek may face the US government’s restrictions because it can subvert the US AI ecosystem, although the restrictions on open source technology may be a challenge.

Paul Triolo, a partner of Albright Stone Group, said that there is no simple solution that can limit the use of open source models, especially the models of organizations and individuals.
