The U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has stated that the U.S. will investigate Chinese AI models for intellectual property theft and may impose sanctions if such theft is confirmed. This action is a response to the increasing capabilities of Chinese AI models, such as Moonshot AI's Kimi K3, which are seen as a threat to American AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. While the Trump administration is reportedly considering a ban on Chinese open-source models, the practice of model distillation, which some see as IP theft and others as a legitimate practice, remains a point of contention.
