China Denies White House Claims of AI Distillation Operations
The White House has accused China of engaging in industrial-scale campaigns to distil U.S. frontier AI systems, according to a memo reported by the Financial Times. The memo suggests that foreign entities, primarily based in China, are involved in these activities, which involve training AI models to replicate advanced systems. The Chinese embassy in Washington has dismissed these claims as 'pure slander,' emphasizing China's commitment to intellectual property rights. The U.S. government is reportedly exploring measures to hold foreign actors accountable for such activities.
