A joint advisory from the NSA, CISA, and FBI accuses Chinese AI firms of industrial-scale distillation to illegally extract capabilities from top U.S. frontier models.

“China-based artificial intelligence companies are conducting systematic extraction of proprietary functionalities and capabilities of U.S. AI companies’ models through industrial-scale knowledge distillation campaigns that form the core—not merely a supplement—of their AI development strategy,” the agencies wrote.

    Woah! Nobody said anything about this being illegal! Not even the article.

    Zero laws are broken in “distillation attacks” aka “see what their product does when we give it this prompt.”
