来源：环球时报 日本《日经亚洲评论》5月26日文章，原题：瞄准DeepSeek不会修复华盛顿的对华人工智能战略缺陷 美 国政府似乎准备对"深度求索"（DeepSeek）采取一系列行动，DeepSeek是一家快速崛起的中国人工智能 （AI）初创企业，其先进的人工智能模型已经迅速受到全球开发人员和技术爱好者的关注。最近，美 国开始在盟友和业界的反对下修改AI扩散规则。 从表面看，全面禁令也可能适得其反。如果美国走得太远，例如向云提供商施压要求其下架开源模型， 或封锁GitHub托管的AI工具，那么美国就有可能损害自身作为互联网开放和创新捍卫者的信誉。这么 做还将授人以柄：美国缺乏在公平环境中开展竞争的信心，正在诉诸于禁令而非寻求突破来保持竞争 力。这让人们感觉不像是一个有原则的立场，而更像是美国对任何首先获得全球关注的中国AI公司都 会发起的针对性打击。这种变本加厉的限制可能会在更大程度上惩罚美国企业而非中国企业。 美国的政策需要不断发展。不断收紧硬件出口管控而忽视开源模型快速扩散能力的策略不仅不完整，而 且现在还变得过时甚至倒退。与全方位禁止相比，美国能以更有效的方式与中国开展竞争。美国可以与 其他国家，特别是 ...
