What stands out

Michael Pillsbury, a senior advisor at American Global Strategies, says China is 'stealing' U.S. breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and frames that transfer as a direct national security risk. He makes the claim on a business-news segment in blunt terms, tying tech competition to geopolitics rather than academic debate. The clip stands out because it shifts the conversation from corporate competition and chip supply chains to alleged appropriation of core research, a claim that tends to draw political pressure and policy attention even when technical details are thin.
