Anthropic and OpenAI warn that China has been ripping off their cutting-edge AI to produce cheap, open-source chatbots — a massive, unchecked technology heist that threatens not only the US’s razor-thin lead in artificial intelligence but also its national security, according to experts. On June 24, San Francisco-based Anthropic — headed by outspoken CEO Dario Amodei — sent a letter to Congress directly accusing Alibaba of “brazen” AI theft through so-callled “distillation” — a technique where an advanced AI model is used to train a less capable one without permission and at a fraction of the cost and time. 5 OpenAI recently accused DeepSeek of ripping off its technology.
