Alibaba Accused of AI Theft

Anthropic slams Alibaba for allegedly using 29 million fake accounts to steal Claude’s AI capabilities via a “distillation attack,” claiming it’s the largest such operation ever—and a national security threat. The tactic involves training weaker AI models on Claude’s answers to mimic its advanced reasoning. Anthropic’s warning to Congress ties this theft to Chinese military-linked firms, though Alibaba denies the claims. This isn’t the first time U.S. AI giants have accused Chinese rivals of similar tactics, and while Anthropic is rising fast with big stock plans, it’s not immune to scrutiny over its own AI security.
