[00:00:01] [SPEAKER_00] Here's your afternoon TNB Tech Minute for Thursday, September 10. I'm Julie Chang for The Wall Street Journal. Anthropic has released a report that alleges Chinese AI companies, including Moonshot AI and DeepSeq, tried cloning American AI models by routing millions of real user queries to Anthropic's cloud through intermediary platforms.
[00:00:24] [SPEAKER_00] Some of those queries contain sensitive information like location data and passwords. The revelations highlight growing safety concerns in Washington and within AI labs. In its report, Anthropic said it has seen increasing evidence that cloud was used for criminal hacking campaigns and potentially dangerous biological research. OpenAI has also seen similar types of queries. A Moonshot spokesperson declined to comment, and DeepSeq didn't respond to requests for comment.
[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_00] Boston Scientific has restored its manufacturing, order fulfillment, and shipping operations following last month's cyberattack. The company said late yesterday that products are moving through its distribution network at or above normal levels as it works to clear backlogs and deliver orders. Earlier this week, the firm noted it will likely miss its third quarter and full year financial guidance due to the hack.
[00:01:16] [SPEAKER_00] And French AI startup Mistral is partnering with American data firm Cloudera to expand its enterprise client base, targeting highly regulated sectors like finance, healthcare, and government agencies. The partnership aims to meet growing demand, especially in Europe, for sovereign AI. Mistral will integrate its models into Cloudera's hybrid data platform, enabling clients to securely deploy and train AI using proprietary data in controlled environments.
[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_00] Enterprise clients are valuable for AI companies since they offer steady revenue. For a deeper dive into what's happening in tech, check out tomorrow's Tech News Briefing Podcast. Explore Umbudsman. Entended Cloudera's hybrid data platform, Explore Umbudsman for growth.
