[Ministry of Commerce: Distillation is a common practice of mutual learning among models in the AI field and is essentially a neutral technical method] Odaily Planet Daily News – A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce responded to questions regarding the U.S. issuing a cybersecurity advisory related to distillation activities by Chinese AI enterprises targeting the U.S. The spokesperson stated that distillation is a common practice of mutual learning among models in the field of artificial intelligence and is essentially a neutral technical method, utilized by global model enterprises, including U.S. companies. This technical method can help models improve learning efficiency, achieve more efficient utilization of human knowledge, contribute to the development of AI industries in various countries, unlock the potential of AI technologies, bridge development gaps, and more broadly benefit developing countries and the general public. The U.S. approach represents a typical double standard. Regarding artificial intelligence, China encourages open-source openness, cooperation, and sharing. Chinese open-source models are accessible to global enterprises, including U.S. companies, facilitating related model development. Reports on model development by U.S. companies also reveal that they have extensively distilled Chinese models. In contrast, the U.S. has repeatedly and unilaterally accused Chinese enterprises of engaging in 'industrial-scale' distillation, smearing industry-standard practices as acts of aggression. This not only reflects the U.S.'s anxiety but also highlights its double standards.
