Trump administration vows crackdown on Chinese firms 'exploiting' U.S. AI models
"Michael Kratsios accused foreign entities 'principally based in China' of engaging in deliberate, industrial-scale campaigns to 'distill,' or extract capabilities from, leading AI systems made in the U.S. and 'exploiting American expertise and innovation.'"
"'Model extraction attacks are the latest frontier of Chinese economic coercion and theft of U.S. intellectual property,' said Rep. Bill Huizen, emphasizing the need for protective measures against such actions."
"'China has always been committed to promoting scientific and technological progress through cooperation and healthy competition,' said Liu Pengyu, the embassy spokesperson, opposing the U.S. actions against Chinese companies."
The Trump administration is intensifying efforts to prevent foreign tech companies, especially those from China, from exploiting U.S. artificial intelligence models. Michael Kratsios, the chief science and technology adviser, accused these foreign entities of conducting large-scale campaigns to extract capabilities from American AI systems. The administration plans to collaborate with U.S. AI companies to identify and penalize such activities. The urgency arises as China narrows the performance gap in AI, prompting the U.S. to maintain its dominance in the field for economic and military advantages.
