FBI warns of theft from China of US Artificial Intelligence technology

China is stealing artificial intelligence technology developed by the United States to fuel its own ambitions and conduct operations to extend its influence, senior FBI officials said Friday.

Officials said China and other adversaries of the United States are targeting American businesses, universities and government research centers to get their hands on the latest Artificial Intelligence research and products.
