The investigation will examine the company’s claims that its AI design is on line with advanced models like OpenAI’s Model o1, according to Paxton’s business.

According to the attorney general’s office, DeepSeek has been informed that its system is in violation of the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act.

Paxton expressed concern that DeepSeek is a pawn in the Chinese Communist Party’s efforts to overthrow AI in the United States and steal information.

Any CCP ( Chinese Communist Party)-aligned firm that attempts to undermine that supremacy by violating the rights of Texans and improperly undermining American tech firms will continue to be at the forefront of global AI development, according to Paxton in the launch.

Paxton has urged Apple and Google to provide all necessary documents related to the DeepSeek game.

In late January, Paxton directed that DeepSeek’s system get banned on all attorney general’s office products due to security concerns and the agency’s links to the Chinese Communist Party.
