What this law does
No electronic device that is owned or issued to an employee by a state agency may be used to access an artificial intelligence platform of concern. Any network that a state agency operates must prohibit the use of artificial intelligence platforms of concern by the users who access the network. A state agency that uses an artificial intelligence platform of concern, or has an account with one, must deactivate and delete the account and stop using the platform.
An artificial intelligence platform of concern is the model commonly referred to as DeepSeek, any model owned or controlled by the company that makes it or its subsidiary or successor, and any model controlled, directly or indirectly, by a country of concern. The countries of concern are the People's Republic of China, including the Hong Kong special administrative region, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia and Venezuela, and the definition does not include Taiwan.
The prohibition does not apply to a state agency using such a device to access such a platform for the purposes of law enforcement activities or cybersecurity investigations. The act takes effect from and after its publication in the statute book.
