U.S. Treasury secretary says U.S. could sanction Chinese AI firms if tech theft confirmed, IP probe launched
The United States is investigating whether Chinese open-source artificial intelligence models infringed U.S. intellectual property and warned it could impose sanctions on Chinese AI companies if violations are confirmed. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. supports open-source AI but not IP infringement. The remarks come amid concern in the United States about the performance and rapid global spread of Chinese models and debate over whether model distillation using competitors’ outputs constitutes IP theft.
