The response on Wednesday comes after three US federal agencies – the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), National Security Agency (NSA) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) – accused Chinese AI companies of exploiting American AI models to benefit their own systems.

O comunicado conjunto, divulgado na terça-feira, disse que empresas chinesas como DeepSeek, Alibaba e Moonshot AI haviam extraído “billions of tokens” dos modelos dos EUA desde “at least late 2024”, provavelmente com a “awareness” do governo chinês.

Tokens are the smallest units of text that AI models read, or generate.

On Wednesday, China’s Commerce Ministry dismissed the allegations and accused the US of seeking a “monopoly of the AI industry”.

A destilação é um método em que modelos de IA menos avançados são treinados com base em modelos mais avançados. O ministério afirmou que a prática é comum na indústria de IA, inclusive por empresas de IA dos EUA.

But American firms say the volume in which it’s being done by Chinese AI models amounts to stealing.

The AP reported that China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the US to “refrain from making unfounded accusations or smears” against China.

O alerta dos EUA chega apenas semanas antes da visita do presidente chinês Xi Jinping aos US, onde o presidente Donald Trump sediará uma cúpula sobre uma série de temas, incluindo IA.

In a rare move, Xi could be accompanied on his US visit by a large number Chinese executives, according to the Reuters news agency. It is not clear which executives would join the delegation, but past meetings between the two countries may indicate AI leaders could be in the mix.

Xi brought Alibaba founder Jack Ma during his 2015 visit to the US. When Trump visited Xi during a trip to Beijing in May, the US president was joined by more than a dozen American executives, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

While speaking in Dallas on Tuesday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told an audience that China can “never get ahead” of the US in AI.

As empresas chinesas citadas no alerta dos EUA não responderam imediatamente ao pedido de comentário da Al Jazeera.
