Chinese researchers have adapted Meta’s Llama model for military intelligence purposes, creating an AI tool called ChatBIT. Despite Meta’s clear licensing terms against military use, concerns have been raised about the misuse of open-source AI technology. The development of ChatBIT by PLA-affiliated researchers showcases the challenges and potentials of open-source technology in national security contexts. This move has sparked debates on the security risks associated with publicly available technology and has led to calls for stricter export controls on certain technologies to prevent adversarial military advancements. However, experts question the effectiveness of ChatBIT due to its limited training data. Meta has responded by distancing itself from unauthorized military applications of Llama, emphasizing their commitment to their acceptable use policy.
