Two Chinese military-linked entities used U.S. AI models to build their own systems, Reuters reports.

North University of China, which has close ties to the country's weapons industry, used Anthropic's Claude 3 Haiku to generate synthetic training data for a social media monitoring and content moderation model.

PLA Unit 96941, a military intelligence and cyber-warfare unit based in Beijing, used OpenAI's GPT-3.5 to summarize sensitive military source code, then trained a domestic model on those summaries to run entirely within Chinese military networks.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei:

I think if AI is used in an appropriate way, not even warfare, but think of intelligence collection

Let's say we're able to predict an invasion of Taiwan or a new movement in Ukraine.

Our adversaries will think twice about conducting some kind of invasion or military operation if we know everything that they're doing.

Bloomberg: U.S. officials, including Scott Bessent and Jerome Powell, quietly briefed top Wall Street CEOs over concerns an Anthropic AI model (“Mythos”) could heighten cyberattack risks by identifying system vulnerabilities.

Regulators are pushing banks to strengthen defenses, while access to the model remains restricted to a small group as safeguards are developed.
