WASHINGTON, Feb 26 (Reuters) - A senior Democratic senator on Wednesday urged President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security to take a tough line on China, citing Chinese startup DeepSeek's artificial intelligence technology.
Senator Elizabeth Warren, the top Democrat on the Banking Committee, told nominee Jeffrey Kessler in a letter seen by Reuters the Trump administration should strengthen AI chips rules adopted by then President Joe Biden's administration in January.
"In light of DeepSeek, we must reinforce our controls on (China)," Warren wrote, calling for a series of other actions on Chinese tech efforts.
