US Accuses China of AI Theft | Global News

The U.S. is leveling explosive accusations against Chinese AI firms, claiming they’re stealing top-tier American models like GPT and Gemini through “distillation” — a practice now officially flagged by the FBI and NSA. Companies including DeepSeek and Alibaba are named, with U.S. officials warning China’s tactics violate terms of service and undermine global AI fairness. Beijing fires back fiercely, calling the claims baseless and politically motivated, accusing Washington of trying to monopolize AI while ignoring that distillation is common worldwide — even in the U.S. The Chinese government warns of countermeasures if pressure continues, while Treasury Secretary vows China can never surpass America in AI. With both sides escalating rhetoric, AI governance is poised to dominate upcoming talks between Trump and Xi — as tensions rise over who’s really leading the race.
