Foreign adversaries have been illegally accessing American artificial intelligence systems, collecting those systems' responses to train cheaper competing models, and selling the results at lower prices.
The technique at the center of the dispute is called distillation: the process of using a working AI's outputs as training data for a rival system, allowing that system to approximate the original's behavior without the foundational development costs.
Anthropic's effort to stop this has turned toward the dark web, and concern over China's role in the activity is growing. How distillation becomes theft Distillation is a recognized approach in AI development.
The premise is straightforward: a capable, well-trained model knows how to respond to questions.
