U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a post on X that he supports open-source AI and the innovation it can bring, but argued that open source should not be used as a justification for infringing on American intellectual property. He added that if Chinese companies carry out covert, industrial-scale distillation attacks and cross the line into intellectual property theft, the United States would consider sanctions and placing them on the entity list. The remarks point to a harder policy stance tying AI-related conduct to potential trade and regulatory penalties. The statement was cited by ChainCatcher in a policy and regulation update.
