❗️Google engineer Linwei Ding convicted in the FIRST AI espionage case in US history. He stole 2,000+ pages of Google's most secret AI chip blueprints while secretly building a Chinese startup to REPLICATE Google's AI infrastructure. The judge threw out ALL seven espionage charges, calling him "disorganized and feeble" rather than a spy. He still faces seven trade secret theft counts, each carrying up to 10 years. @aipost 🏴
