China Accused of AI Theft

The Trump administration's accusations push the U.S.-China tech rivalry into more confrontational territory ahead of a planned summit between the two leaders.

Officials allege that Chinese firms are using a technique called 'distillation' to crib the capabilities of advanced models from U.S. labs.

The Chinese Embassy has rejected the claims, describing them as 'baseless allegations.' The White House is now exploring new export controls and security measures to protect the nation's lead in the AI race.
