updates: The former Google engineer has been formally indicted in California for stealing trade secrets about artificial intelligence from Google's parent company, Alphabet. The stolen data encompassed specifics regarding chips, systems, and software pivotal for operating a supercomputer with advanced machine learning and AI capabilities. Ding is alleged to have initiated the thefts three years later, coinciding with discussions about his potential appointment as chief technology officer for a burgeoning Chinese tech startup. The charges highlight the illicit transfer of sensitive technology and the potential risks it poses. The case adds to the mounting concerns about the loss of advanced technologies to China and the need to protect national security. The US Justice Department has announced the arrest of Ding, and he could face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and up to $1 million in fines. The lawmakers are demanding complete documentation from the Pentagon on all grants given, a breakdown of Zhu's research, and a list of all recipients of DoD research grants currently living in China. The case highlights the need for a comprehensive review of technology collaboration and transfer policies. Google has stated that the company has strict safeguards in place to prevent the theft of its confidential commercial information and trade secrets.
