Peter Gostev points out that US frontier AI labs restrict their models from being used for extensive cybersecurity tasks, while Chinese models are often banned for US users. This leaves American firms without access to effective AI tools for cybersecurity.
Meanwhile, users outside the US can easily leverage increasingly powerful Chinese open-source models for cyber attacks. He criticizes this situation as a deeply ironic security loophole.
