Published on: March 10, 2024
The FBI has issued a warning regarding China's alleged theft of US artificial intelligence technology. This move is seen as an attempt by China to enhance its own AI programs and expand its foreign influence capabilities.
According to the FBI, China targets American businesses, universities, and government research facilities to gain access to cutting-edge AI research and products.
The ultimate goal of these alleged activities is to position China as a global leader in AI by 2030, largely leveraging US technology advancements.
FBI Director Christopher Wray highlighted the risks posed by China's use of stolen AI technology, particularly in the context of enhanced hacking capabilities.
In response to these allegations, China has consistently denied involvement in such activities, dismissing the claims as unfounded.
