AI-use reference. Still linked as applicable guidance on VITA's current AI page; no rescission located. Applies to: State government technology: state-owned/leased devices and state-owned/maintained networks; not a general ban on residents or city-owned AI systems. Requirements or purpose: Bans use of DeepSeek on covered government devices or networks. State university implementation notices require removal from covered devices and prohibit use over university networks. Limits: LVA metadata confirms date and three-page original, but its document viewer did not deliver the PDF body in this pass. The former governor PDF URL returned 404; official indexed excerpt and state-university implementation corroborate core scope. Do not extend state-network/device coverage to all private/offline use or to Newport News by assumption.
