“China-based artificial intelligence (AI) companies are engaging in aggressive, industrial-scale distillation activities that systematically extract restricted proprietary functionalities and capabilities of U.S. frontier AI models with the purpose of training their own, according to the report. While distillation is recognized as a legitimate and useful technique in AI research, China-based companies’ use of distillation against U.S. models enables Chinese AI models to continually close the technology gap without expending high research and development costs and resources, including for compute, electricity, and foundational research, required for producing frontier AI models. Advances of Chinese AI models, consequently, enhances its military and cyberattack capabilities that could be used against the U.S. and our Allies.” NSA.
The British Empire gave Hitler a 6 year head start that would necessitate the deaths of 60 million while the American Empire gave Xi a 25 year head start that will necessitate the deaths of even more Americans but unlike the last 2 world wars the democracies will not prevail this time! As the democrats move to take control over the US Congress they will move to restrict the use of AI in America and that will be an even bigger mistake than when President Clinton opened trade with China! This isn’t to say that there isn’t enough blame to go around but the real question is it too late for the western democracies to fix this and unfortunately the answer is YES it is!!!
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
