外交部发言人就美方指责中国人工智能企业开展“工业规模”蒸馏答记者问

中方驳斥美方关于中国人工智能企业蒸馏美模型指控,称其为科技霸权与双重标准

Quick Look

针对美方指责中国人工智能企业对美开展“工业规模”蒸馏,中方回应称该指控于事无凭,批评美方将正常技术手段政治化,旨在维护科技霸权与算力垄断,并表示若美方实施遏压行动,中方将采取反制措施。

问:美东时间9月8日,美国家安全局、网络安全与基础设施安全局、联邦调查局联合发布公告,指责中国人工智能企业对美开展“工业规模”蒸馏,获取美前沿模型能力,并向美企提出相关防御措施建议。请问中方对此有何评论?

答:我们注意到有关情况。中方认为,美方所谓中国人工智能企业从事“工业规模”蒸馏美模型的指控,于事无凭,于法无据。美方此举,是将蒸馏这一业内正常的技术和商业问题政治化、工具化,并在实践中搞双重标准。美方相关公告,是其在人工智能领域推行科技霸权、搞算力垄断,打压竞争的又一明证。中方对此坚决反对。

蒸馏是人工智能领域各个模型间互相学习的通行做法,本质是中性技术手段,包括美企在内的全球模型企业都在用。这种技术手段可以帮助模型提升学习效率,实现人类知识的更高效利用,对各国发展人工智能产业、释放人工智能技术潜力、弥补发展鸿沟、更广泛惠及发展中国家和社会大众有积极意义。

美方做法是典型的双重标准。对于人工智能,中方鼓励开源开放、合作共享,中方开源模型向包括美企在内的全球企业开放,为相关模型研发提供便利。美企有关模型研发报告也披露,其大量蒸馏中国模型。反观美方,多次单方面指责中国企业从事“工业规模”蒸馏,将行业通行做法抹黑为攻击行为,既反映了美方的焦虑,又体现了双重标准。

美方做法是典型的以打击蒸馏为名,行产业垄断之实。美方由安全部门发布公告,是将个别企业和资本利益与国家安全相捆绑,动用国家强权机构干涉正常商业活动。我们注意到,美个别人工智能企业滥用竞争优势地位,在用户协议中设置宽泛的地域限制等霸王条款。美方相关蒸馏指控,有为这些霸王条款背书之嫌。

美方做法是典型的动用国家力量维护科技霸权和算力垄断,打压竞争。今年以来,美行政、立法机关频频发出对中国企业蒸馏行为的制裁打压威胁,其目的是打压竞争,维护美在算力、数据方面的垄断,只能美国独赢,不能人类共赢,将本应公开公平获取的全球人工智能资源变成少数企业的独占资源,阻止他国参与人工智能创新成果的普惠共享。

当前,大模型产业正处于技术迭代、风险迭发、成长发展的关键时期。中美作为大国,应以积极负责态度处理人工智能领域面临的挑战和风险。两国元首已同意开展人工智能政府间对话,中方愿意以平等互利、合作共赢原则,通过对话与美方开展建设性和专业的讨论。但如果美方以打击蒸馏为名,实施遏压中国人工智能企业的行动,中方必将坚决采取措施予以反制。希望美方与中方相向而行,通过对话和沟通管控风险,推动人工智能产业惠及全球。
