The U.S. Justice Department announced on Thursday that it has charged three individuals with a conspiracy involving the unlawful diversion of U.S. artificial intelligence technology to China.

The FBI claims that Yih-Shyan Liaw, Ruei-Tsang Chang, and Ting-Wei Sun were involved in a plot to sell servers valued in the billions, which integrate sensitive and controlled graphic processing units, to buyers in China. This, the FBI alleges, constitutes a violation of U.S. export control laws.

The case underscores ongoing concerns about technological espionage and the security of sensitive U.S. innovations.
