OpenAI has expressed concerns about Chinese companies attempting to tap into U.S. artificial intelligence advancements to enhance their models. In a recent statement, the company emphasized its commitment to protecting intellectual property (IP) through stringent measures, including controlling which capabilities are integrated into released AI models. OpenAI also highlighted the importance of collaboration with the U.S. government to secure the most advanced AI technologies.
The statement follows reports from the White House, which is assessing potential national security risks associated with China’s use of AI techniques like “distillation.” This method, according to David Sacks, the White House’s AI and crypto czar, allows Chinese firms to learn from U.S. AI leaders.
The announcement comes amidst growing concerns over the international competition in AI technology and its potential use for national security purposes, with the U.S. looking to strengthen protections against foreign exploitation.
