Question description

In January 2023, a report by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) found that the theft of IP (intellectual property) is a growing problem. The report found that the value of stolen IP is estimated to be between $2 trillion and $6 trillion per year. None, however, have been attributed to AI systems that probe for weaknesses. Recent high-profile examples of non-AI-based theft of IP include:

In 2022, a Chinese national was arrested in the United States for stealing trade secrets from GSK.

In January 2023, Riot Games, the developer of well-known video games League of Legends and Valorant, said that hackers recently stole the source code for some of its most popular games in a recent breach.
