Chinese ex-Google engineer charged with stealing AI trade secrets
==========
Linwei Ding, a former software engineer at Google, has been charged with stealing artificial intelligence trade secrets from the company while secretly working with two companies based in China. Ding, a Chinese national, was arrested in Newark, California, on four counts of federal trade secret theft, each punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The indictment alleges that Ding, who was hired by Google in 2019, began uploading hundreds of files into a personal Google Cloud account two years ago. He was offered the position of chief technology officer at a Chinese technology company and also founded and served as chief executive of a China-based startup company. Ding resigned from Google in December 2023. Google said it had determined that the employee had stolen "numerous documents" and referred the matter to law enforcement.
