China employs OpenAI and Anthropic models in defense

A survey review revealed that Chinese military researchers utilized outputs from advanced AI models developed by OpenAI and Anthropic to train local systems, aiming to enhance Beijing’s defensive capabilities. Chinese institutions employed a technique called "model distillation" to condense large artificial intelligence models into smaller, locally operable versions. This approach enables their use in military and intelligence applications despite international restrictions on exporting advanced technologies. While this practice serves to reduce the technological gap with the United States, it also raises security concerns, as it could lead to the leakage of sensitive capabilities and their transfer beyond control—especially with the increasing use of these models in monitoring content, armed applications, and multi-purpose military analysis.
