WASHINGTON, Sept 8 : U.S. cyber and law enforcement officials on Tuesday accused Chinese AI companies of "aggressive, industrial-scale distillation activities," according to a statement from three U.S. security agencies.
Distillation is the process of training smaller AI models using output from larger, more expensive ones as part of an effort to lower the costs of training a new AI tool.
