US federal agencies have made allegations against Chinese artificial intelligence firms. These firms are accused of taking trade secrets from American companies to speed up their development and cut costs. A technique called distillation is being used, which can be legitimate but is allegedly being used to extract proprietary information.

American officials have long been concerned about the scale of this issue. The FBI and other agencies have issued an advisory about the problem.

Further information is available from the source, including details of the allegations and the advisory issued by the agencies.
