Shanghai's First Case of AI Computing Power Theft Results in a Three-Year Sentence with a Three-Year Probation
Shanghai has announced the verdict in its first case involving the use of AI to forge signatures and illicitly use large model computing power. Zong Moumou bypassed platform security measures, using over 4 million accounts to exploit new user points. He illegally called application programming interfaces more than 290,000 times and resold the generated services, earning over 34,000 yuan in profit.
The Xuhui District Court sentenced him to three years in prison, suspended for three years, and fined him 40,000 yuan for the crime of illegally obtaining data from a computer information system. The prosecution stated that this type of "computing power arbitrage," which incurs no cost for the computing resources used, constitutes an illegal and criminal act.
