The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) said on Thursday, April 23),that information indicated that foreign entities, principally based in China, are engaged in deliberate, industrial-scale campaigns to distill US frontier AI models.
“Leveraging tens of thousands of proxy accounts to evade detection and using jailbreaking techniques to expose proprietary information, these coordinated campaigns systematically extract capabilities from American AI models, exploiting American expertise and innovation,” Michael Kratsios, an assistant to the president for science and technology director, OSTP, said in a memorandum for the heads of US government departments and agencies.
