In a memo, science and technology advisor Michael Kratsios accused foreign entities of large-scale extraction of American AI capabilities through "distillation" - a method of training weaker models based on more powerful ones.

Washington plans to cooperate with companies to identify such cases, create protections, and punish violators. This comes amid a narrowing technological gap between the US and China.
Reaction and legislative steps
China rejected the accusations, stating its support for fair competition. At the same time, Congress has already supported a bill on sanctions against those who illegally obtain American AI technologies.
Experts note that distinguishing illegal use from legal is difficult, so control requires coordination between the state and business.
