US accuses China of AI tech theft

The White House has issued a memo from Michael Kratsios, Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, directing government agencies to share information with American AI companies about foreign distillation efforts. The memo states the administration will 'explore a range of measures to hold foreign actors accountable' for campaigns targeting U.S. AI technology. This follows earlier accusations that China is engaged in 'industrial-scale' theft of American AI intellectual property.
