White House memo claims mass AI theft by Chinese firms

The White House has announced plans to strengthen collaboration with American AI companies to counter what it describes as systematic theft of AI technology by foreign entities, primarily from China, through a technique called "distilling. " This process involves creating thousands of fake user accounts to extract proprietary information from AI systems and replicate advanced models developed by US firms. China's embassy has rejected these allegations, asserting that Chinese AI development results from legitimate domestic innovation and international cooperation.
