The White House has announced it will collaborate with US artificial intelligence (AI) firms to combat "industrial-scale campaigns" by foreign actors to steal advances in the technology. An internal memo stated that the administration had new information indicating that foreign entities, primarily based in China, were exploiting American firms. The White House did not specify specific plans for action against these entities. A representative from China's US embassy in Washington DC criticised the US for "unjustifying suppression of Chinese companies" by the US.
