U.S. security agencies accused Chinese AI companies of running large-scale operations to copy American AI models. China has denied the claims, and the dispute has raised talk of new sanctions and export controls.
U.S. cyber and law enforcement officials accused Chinese artificial intelligence companies on Tuesday of running aggressive, industrial-scale distillation activities, according to a statement from three U.S. security agencies. The accusation adds to a broadening dispute between Washington and Beijing over AI development and cyber espionage.
Distillation is a training method that uses the output of larger, more expensive AI models to train smaller ones, lowering the cost of building a new AI tool. U.S. officials say Chinese firms are applying the technique to extract capabilities from American AI models, a claim China has denied.
The allegations have sparked discussions of potential sanctions and export-control actions by the U.S., further straining the diplomatic and regulatory standoff between the two countries.
