Anthropic has accused Chinese technology giant Alibaba of conducting a large-scale campaign to extract capabilities from its Claude artificial intelligence models, alleging that operators linked to the company used thousands of fraudulent accounts to gain access to its systems.
The allegations emerged as governments around the world continue to tighten controls on advanced technologies amid geopolitical tensions. Advanced computing, semiconductors and artificial intelligence have become central issues in the broader competition between Washington and Beijing, prompting increased scrutiny of how companies access and develop cutting-edge technologies.
