– Former Google engineer arrested for allegedly stealing AI secrets for Chinese companies

A Chinese software engineer was arrested on March 6 in Newark, California, USA for allegedly stealing Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) technology while secretly working for two Chinese companies.

US Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement that engineer Linwei Ding (38 years old), also known as Leon Ding, will face four charges related to stealing trade secrets.

Ding is accused of transferring confidential information from Google’s network to his personal account, and secretly associating with companies in the field of AI based in China.

Mr. Garland said: “The Department of Justice will not tolerate theft of artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies that pose a danger to national security. We will vigorously protect security technologies.” Secrets developed in the United States do not fall into the hands of people who should not have them.”

“Theft of advanced technology and trade secrets from American companies could have devastating economic and national security consequences,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray.
