This method, known as 'model distillation', involves building smaller, more efficient AI systems by learning from powerful Western models, sparking national security concerns in Washington. A review of research papers by the Jamestown Foundation and Reuters indicates military-linked institutions are applying this technology for battlefield operations, surveillance, cyber capabilities and content monitoring. Specific instances include a Chinese military unit using OpenAI's GPT-3.5 for military software code analysis and researchers employing Anthropic's Claude AI for social media monitoring training data. China aims to narrow its AI gap with the U.S. and create 'lightweight' AI models for devices with limited computing power, such as drones and autonomous ships, despite U.S. chip export restrictions.
