A Chinese AI lab curbs its own model's hacking skills, as China proposes export controls on AI hacking tools

Moonshot has curbed the cyberattack-relevant abilities of its newest Kimi model, as fears grow over AI-powered cyberattacks. The move comes as China proposed export controls last week that would ban exporting AI-driven malware-generation and mutation technology, and restrict AI tools that discover software vulnerabilities.

• If your business uses an open AI model for coding help, assume newer versions may have fewer raw technical abilities than before. That is a safety trade, not a downgrade to complain about.
• Keep your website and software patched promptly. AI models on both sides are getting faster at finding the same old unpatched holes.
