China stealing American AI
Michael Kratsios, the White House science and technology adviser, has exposed a massive espionage campaign orchestrated by Beijing to exploit U.S. AI breakthroughs.
The administration alleges that Chinese developers are using 'distillation' techniques to build rival chatbots based on proprietary American models.
This confrontational stance comes just weeks before a planned summit between President Trump and Xi Jinping, potentially complicating diplomatic efforts.
In response, the U.S. government is coordinating with Silicon Valley tech giants to develop robust countermeasures and information-sharing protocols to protect intellectual property.
