A joint advisory from the NSA, CISA, and FBI accuses Chinese AI firms of industrial-scale distillation to illegally extract capabilities from top U.S. frontier models.

“China-based artificial intelligence companies are conducting systematic extraction of proprietary functionalities and capabilities of U.S. AI companies’ models through industrial-scale knowledge distillation campaigns that form the core—not merely a supplement—of their AI development strategy,” the agencies wrote.
