Bad news! Why should AI not be dual use?
Maybe US AI models should train Chinese defense systems how to malfunction in case of a military conflict? 😊
What about the US spying on China how they use US AI models?
"Chinese military researchers have used outputs from leading U.S. artificial intelligence models developed by OpenAI and Anthropic to train domestic AI systems to advance China’s defense capabilities, according to a Reuters review of more than 80 Chinese academic papers and patents. ...
One paper published last year by researchers in PLA Unit 96941, a military intelligence and cyber-warfare unit in Beijing, described using OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 to process sensitive military source code. ..."
"Summary
- Chinese military researchers distil US models, documents show
- Distilling done to create smaller and more secure versions of a model
- Distillation has become a flashpoint in US-China ties as AI competition intensifies
- Distillation cannot replace massive compute needed to develop frontier AI from scratch
Chinese military researchers have used outputs from leading U.S. artificial intelligence models developed by OpenAI and Anthropic to train domestic AI systems to advance China's defence capabilities, according to a Reuters review of more than 80 Chinese academic papers and patents. ..."
"Executive Summary:
- Distillation has become essential to the rise of Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) models. Chinese academic and industry papers published in the period 2024–2026 detail how distillation takes place—including adversarial distillation—and provides insight into the kinds of entities involved in the work of using leading models to build capabilities that rival the world’s best models.
- The prize is frontier reasoning: the step-by-step “chain of thought” that is the most expensive capability to build and the one on which U.S. laboratories lead most clearly. Chinese research literature documents a deliberate, premeditated effort to distill that capability.
- Some published Chinese research also focuses on engineering distillation techniques to evade detection. Much of this work is conducted by researchers affiliated with the People’s Liberation Army, the defense industry, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
- Distilled models are either already being used, or are proposed to be used, for public security applications such as surveillance and monitoring systems, and for military and cyber operations.

Spy vs. spy (remember the famous MAD cartoons, source) MAD = mutually assured destruction
