FULL STORY The White House has accused China of orchestrating a campaign to steal AI models from American developers on an industrial-scale. In a memo , Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said, "The US government has information indicating that foreign entities, principally based in China, are engaged in deliberate, industrial-scale campaigns to distil US frontier AI systems." The accusations come ahead of a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing next month. "Leveraging tens of thousands of proxy accounts to evade detection and using jailbreaking techniques to expose proprietary information, these coordinated campaigns systematically extract capabilities from American AI models, exploiting American expertise and innovation," the White House memo continued. This isnt the first time China has been accused of stealing US technology, with the superpower previously in the crosshair for stealing aerospace secrets and industrial technology . The memo strikes a different tone to previous accusations, with the White House stating, There is nothing innovative about systemically extracting and copying the innovations of American industry, and there is nothing about supposedly open models that are derived from acts of malicious exploitation. In response, the Chinese Embassy in Washington issued a statement saying that it rejects the baseless allegations, and that Beijing attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights. The accusation is likely to strain US-China relations ahead of next month's meeting. Tensions are also likely to rise as the US Congress passes its largest significant export control mark-up in the history of Congress that seeks to prevent China from accessing US tech - especially high-powered chips. Restrictions on the sale of powerful chips to China were eased in January, with the possibility of some of Nvidia s most powerful chips being sold on a case-by-case basis. But these exports have been thrown into question by the latest restrictions from Congress. Nonetheless, China has proven itself capable of developing and training powerful AI models such as Deepseek and OpenClaw - both of which have rattled American AI developers as China was believed to be years behind the US.
