China's Moonshot AI stole from Anthropic, Trump tech adviser says
A technology adviser to US President Donald Trump has alleged that Chinese artificial intelligence company Moonshot AI stole proprietary technology from Anthropic. The claim comes as Chinese AI firms face intensifying scrutiny from US officials over intellectual property and national security concerns.
A senior technology adviser in the Trump administration has accused Moonshot AI, a Chinese artificial intelligence startup, of stealing proprietary technology from US-based Anthropic. The adviser did not publicly detail specific evidence for the claim, and Moonshot AI has not issued a public response.
The allegation lands amid a broader pattern of scrutiny from Washington toward Chinese AI developers, several of which have released models that rival those of US labs at a fraction of the reported cost. US officials have repeatedly raised concerns about intellectual property theft and national security risks tied to China's rapidly advancing AI sector.
Anthropic, maker of the Claude family of models, has not publicly commented on the specific allegation. The dispute adds to ongoing tensions between Washington and Beijing over technology competition, as both governments push to control critical infrastructure underpinning the global AI race.
