US accuses China of large-scale AI theft

"The United States has evidence that foreign actors, primarily in China, are conducting large-scale operations to steal American AI," wrote Michael Kratsios, a White House science advisor, on X.

He also wrote:

"We will take action to protect American innovation."

In February, the American AI company Anthropic accused three Chinese competitors – Deepseek, Moonshot AI and Minimax – of trying to steal knowledge from Anthropic's AI tool Claude "on an industrial scale."
