AXIOS (Madison Mills) - White House draws new AI line on China
The Trump administration this week staked out a new position that could reshape its approach to AI policy, accusing Chinese companies of stealing U.S. technology even as it defends open AI development. Why it matters: That distinction could become the foundation for U.S. action against Chinese AI companies without broadly restricting the open-weight models that businesses, researchers and startups increasingly rely on. Driving the news: The Trump administration is backing open-weight models while accusing China's Moonshot of using distillation — the process of training a smaller AI model using the outputs of a larger model — to copy Anthropic's Fable model. - "Legitimate AI distillation used to create smaller, more efficient models…

AXIOS (Sam Sabin) - Trump's China trip collides with AI security fears
As the U.S. and China barrel ahead in their quest for AI supremacy , their race could come at the expense of global cybersecurity. Why it matters: The U.S. and China both have an interest in preventing each other from weaponizing AI tools against them or letting rogue systems into the wild. - But it remains to be seen whether they can hold a productive dialogue around AI security norms or trust the other to abide by them. Driving the news: President Trump is expected to discuss AI guardrails with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing this week, U.S. officials told reporters Sunday. - "We want to take this opportunity with the leaders meeting to open up a conversation and see if we should establish a channel of communication on AI…

The Trump administration on Thursday accused China-backed actors of running "deliberate, industrial-scale campaigns" to distill and copy American frontier AI models .

Driving the news: Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, sent a memo Thursday to federal agency heads accusing mostly China-based actors of using proxy accounts to evade detection and jailbreak models to "expose proprietary information" and "extract capabilities from American AI models." - Distillation attacks involve querying proprietary models, like…
