- A US federal judge on Thursday tossed part of the conviction of former Google software engineer Linwei Ding, who had been found guilty of stealing AI trade secrets.
- Linwei Ding was originally convicted of stealing AI trade secrets intended to benefit two unnamed Chinese companies, according to the case.
