A U.S. lawmaker is preparing to introduce legislation to track the sale locations of AI chips, specifically Nvidia's, amid concerns of smuggling into China against export controls. The bipartisan initiative aims to tackle the unauthorized distribution of these vital components used in AI systems. Representatives have noted that available technology can ensure compliance with export regulations and prevent unauthorized chip activation. With credible reports of large-scale smuggling, the urgency for regulatory measures is underscored by bipartisan support and technical feasibility.
"The technology to track chips after they are sold is readily available, much of it already built into Nvidia's chips," said Representative Bill Foster.
"There are already credible reports of chip smuggling occurring on a large scale," Foster noted, highlighting the urgency for regulatory measures.
