China employs AI with Model Distillation for defense
A recent study organized by Chinese military researchers revealed that they have benefited from the outputs of American AI models developed by companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic to train local AI systems aimed at enhancing China's defense capabilities. Using a technique called "model distillation," where the outputs of large models are used to train smaller models that can be run locally, they developed specialized systems without the need for massive computational infrastructure. The research confirmed that China widely employs advanced AI models as a source for development and to reduce the gap with the United States, despite American accusations of intellectual property violations and unauthorized data transfer. The issue emerges as a point of contention ahead of talks between Beijing and Washington regarding the regulation of artificial intelligence, focusing on technical means to bypass export restrictions and intellectual property rights.
