China’s ByteDance is suing a former intern for $1.1 million, alleging that he intentionally attacked its artificial intelligence large language model training infrastructure. The parent company of TikTok is seeking damages from the intern, Tian Keyu, in a lawsuit filed with the Haidian District People’s Court in Beijing. This case has garnered attention due to its focus on AI training technology, which is a critical part of the global AI race. While lawsuits between companies and employees are common in China, legal action against an intern and for such a large sum is unusual. According to reports, Tian is accused of sabotaging the team’s model training tasks through code manipulation and unauthorized modifications. ByteDance has confirmed that the intern was dismissed in August, but denied rumors that the incident involved losses in millions of dollars and over 8,000 graphics processing units. The case highlights the increasing importance of AI technology and the potential risks associated with internal sabotage in the tech industry, prompting widespread interest within China and globally.
