Google fears massive attempt to clone Gemini AI through model extraction | CSO Online

Google detected and blocked a campaign using over 100,000 prompts aimed at cloning its Gemini AI model through model extraction, a process that allows attackers to create smaller models with the core traits of larger ones. This tactic is considered intellectual property theft, and Google is actively working to prevent it while also noting that nation-state groups have used Gemini to accelerate their own attack operations.
