US Moves to Stop China Rivals' 'Exploitation' of American AI

The Trump administration unveiled measures aimed at preventing Chinese developers from improperly using leading American AI models to build a rival generation of chatbots, marking the first major US response to Silicon Valley companies’ complaints that China is piggybacking on their success.

In a memo Thursday, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy said it will promote wider information sharing by US-based developers and increase efforts to help the industry detect unauthorized extraction of their artificial intelligence models. The US government will also work with industry to determine how to rein in such abuses and hold bad actors accountable.
