Today’s AI story isn’t just about better models—it’s about who gets to run them, where, and at what cost. The Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security ordered DeepSeek’s AI technology removed from all U.S. federal civilian agencies, citing “multiple threat vectors” and directing agencies to delete DeepSeek-affiliated products and stop buying its services. That federal clampdown echoes closer-to-the-ground moves: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, after banning AI use in elementary and middle schools, argued that deployment isn’t inevitable and that local pressure should force accountability rather than wait for federal policy gaps to close.
