美国众议员罗·卡纳要求五家领先的美国AI公司分享其了解的中国或其他敌对行为体试图窃取其模型权重的情况。
US Congressman Ro Khanna has asked five leading American AI companies to share what they know about attempts by China or other hostile actors to steal their model weights.
据路透社报道，这些信函发给了OpenAI、Anthropic、Google、Meta和SpaceX的首席执行官。模型权重是在训练过程中学到的数值，使AI模型得以运行。持有这些权重的人可以运行该模型的副本。卡纳还要求每家公司描述其用于防止此类窃取的网络安全措施。
The letters went to the chief executives of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX, Reuters reported. Model weights are the numbers learned during training that make an AI model work. Anyone who holds them can run a copy of the model. Khanna also asked each firm to describe the cyber security measures it uses to prevent that kind of theft.
此外，这位议员代表部分硅谷地区，并担任众议院中国问题特别委员会的民主党首席议员。
Moreover, the Congressman represents part of Silicon Valley and is the top Democrat on the House Select Committee on China.
据路透社报道，他写道：“（中国）窃取此类模型权重可能只需敲几下键盘，就能削弱美国的AI领先优势。”
“The theft of such a model weight by (China) could erode America’s AI lead with the stroke of a keyboard,” he wrote, according to Reuters.
这些信函是在美国实验室接连就中国竞争对手提出投诉之后发出的。
The letters follow a run of complaints from US labs about Chinese rivals.
OpenAI和Anthropic均指责包括Moonshot AI（月之暗面）和DeepSeek（深度求索）在内的中国公司进行蒸馏，即利用美国系统的输出来训练自己的模型。然而，鲜有模型权重被窃的案例为公众所知。这些公司和中国驻华盛顿大使馆未立即回应路透社的置评请求。
OpenAI and Anthropic have both accused Chinese firms, including Moonshot AI and DeepSeek, of distillation, meaning training their own models on the answers from US systems. However, few cases of stolen model weights are publicly known. The companies and the Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
本周，卡纳还致信三家中国实验室：DeepSeek、阿里巴巴和Moonshot AI。他还向美国情报界发了一封信。这些信询问他们如何应对先进AI的风险。
This week, Khanna also wrote to three Chinese labs: DeepSeek, Alibaba and Moonshot AI. He sent a further letter to the US intelligence community. Those letters ask how they handle the risks of advanced AI.
“你不能指望硅谷科技亿万富翁来制定规则以保障我们的安全，”卡纳对路透社表示。
“You cannot trust Silicon Valley tech billionaires to write the rules to keep us safe,” Khanna told Reuters.
