White House accuses China of stealing US AI secrets at industrial scale
The White House accused China of stealing US artificial intelligence labs' intellectual property on an industrial scale, using tens of thousands of proxy accounts and jailbreaking techniques. The memo, released ahead of a summit between US and Chinese leaders, threatens to strain relations and raises questions about US chip exports to China.
The White House has accused China of stealing US artificial intelligence labs' intellectual property on an industrial scale. Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, stated that foreign entities, principally based in China, are engaged in deliberate campaigns to distil US frontier AI systems. The memo was released just weeks before US President Donald Trump is set to visit Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. The Chinese Embassy in Washington opposed the allegations, saying Beijing attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights. The memo promises to raise tensions in a long-running tech war between the rival superpowers. The administration will share information with American AI companies about the distillation efforts and explore measures to hold foreign actors accountable.
