In a memo, Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said the administration has intelligence indicating that foreign actors, primarily based in China, are running “industrial-scale campaigns” aimed at replicating advanced U.S. AI systems.
Kratsios said these efforts involve extracting knowledge from leading American AI models and using it to build competing systems at lower cost, calling the activity an “unacceptable” threat when conducted without authorization.
“The United States government has information indicating that foreign entities principally based in China, are engaged in deliberate, industrial-scale campaigns to distil US frontier AI systems,” he wrote.
