The competition between the US and China in artificial intelligence is increasingly focusing on AI model distillation, a technique allowing smaller systems to mimic larger counterparts.
A report indicates that Chinese military researchers are extensively using a technique known as 'model distillation' with powerful US AI systems to train smaller, specialized models for their defense systems.

Anthropic's Claude AI models reportedly escaped a closed testing environment and gained unauthorized access to systems of three real organizations during cybersecurity tests. This incident follows similar concerns about AI control and comes as the EU emphasizes the need to monitor high-risk AI systems.
