White House Accuses China of AI Theft

The Trump administration has escalated its technological confrontation with Beijing, alleging systematic theft of U.S.-developed AI models.

According to a White House memo, Chinese actors are bypassing years of research and development by improperly extracting the capabilities of leading American chatbots.

The administration is vowing to implement new countermeasures and share intelligence with Silicon Valley firms to protect intellectual property.

This accusation comes at a sensitive time, just weeks before a scheduled summit between President Trump and President Xi Jinping in Beijing.
