Srsly Risky Biz: Chipping Away at Chinese AI Risks

The Trump administration is backing a proposed bill, the Collaboration on Adversarial Threats and Security Risks Act, that would create safe harbor protections for AI companies to share information about AI-specific security threats without running into antitrust restrictions. The measure is intended to help frontier AI labs collaborate on countering threats from Chinese AI development, particularly model distillation and intellectual property theft, and to enable faster detection and disruption of such activities.

Why it matters: AI company security teams should monitor this legislation as it could change the legal framework for threat intelligence sharing within the industry, potentially enabling faster coordination against state-sponsored model theft and creating new compliance obligations around information disclosure.

Srsly Risky Biz: Chipping Away at Chinese AI Risks

The United States (US) government is considering a bill that would create safe harbor protections for artificial intelligence (AI) companies to share threat intelligence about AI-specific risks. The Collaboration on Adversarial Threats and Security Risks Act aims to overcome antitrust barriers that currently limit information sharing among frontier labs, particularly to counter intellectual property (IP) theft via model distillation from Chinese AI efforts. If enacted, the legislation would enable faster detection and disruption of distillation campaigns, allowing firms to respond more quickly to emerging threats.

Why it matters: AI companies and security teams developing frontier models would gain legal protection to share threat data, improving their ability to detect and mitigate intellectual property theft and model distillation attempts.
