US accuses Chinese AI firms of 'malicious' copying of AI technology
The advisory says six Chinese firms used billions of prompts to copy capabilities from U.S. frontier models and cut development costs.
- On Tuesday, the National Security Agency, FBI, and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency accused China-based AI firms of "industrial-scale" data extraction, claiming they maliciously copied technology from American-made AI models using "distillation."
- The method called "distillation" allows companies to transfer capabilities from larger models to smaller ones to cut training costs, which agencies described as "aggressive, malicious and targeted."
- Agencies identified DeepSeek, Moonshot, Alibaba, MiniMax, and StepFun as companies utilizing American-made AI variants to train their products, an activity occurring "likely with Chinese government awareness."
- These accusations emerge ahead of Chinese President Jinping's upcoming visit to WASHINGTON, creating significant diplomatic friction as tensions escalate.
- US-China relations face further pressure as both nations prepare for a mid-September dialogue concerning AI safety risks, complicating bilateral negotiations.
