I don't see any mention of Project Ocean - AKA Google books. Before AI they endevoured to digitize books in a massive online library. This inccluded rare and out of print books many which are archived at libraries. Because they had to preserve the books and return them in the condition they received then they created elaborate technology to accomplish this. The project was met with significant legal challenges from authors and publishers which was eventually overcome. The legal precedents that were established from Project Ocean laid the ground work for the process as it exists today. Books from libraries are still being preserved.

Google's latest AI threat tracker report mostly describes how threat actors are using AI, but the report begins by calling out distillation attacks. Google frames these types of attacks as a form of intellectual property theft.

Google cited one example that involved more than 100,000 queries to its Gemini AI. The campaign appeared to be about "replicating Gemini's reasoning ability in non-English target languages."

Google didn't call out any particular country or competitor, but instead referred to "frequent model extraction attacks from private sector entities all over the world and researchers seeking to clone proprietary logic."
