White House Accuses China of Massive AI Theft: A New Cold War in Tech

The White House has accused China of running large-scale operations to steal intellectual property from top U.S. artificial intelligence labs. The allegations include the use of thousands of fake accounts and jailbreaking techniques to extract secrets from American AI models. Chinas embassy has denied these claims, but the accusations come just before a major summit between the U.S. and Chinese leaders. The theft targets a process called distillation, which reduces the cost of training smaller AI models. The incident is escalating tensions in the ongoing tech rivalry between the two nations, leading to anticipated sharper trade talks and tighter AI safeguards from Washington.
