More claims are emerging that developers in China are using US-based cloud services to bypass measures intended to block its access to advanced chips and other technologies for accelerating AI development.
The White House started imposing export restrictions on advanced chips to China nearly two years ago, extending them last year to effectively cut off the Chinese market from high-end GPUs and accelerators.
Some Chinese organizations were found to be buying or trying to buy access to export-controlled chips such as Nvidia's high-end GPUs operating from datacenters in the US, neatly side-stepping the restrictions without explicitly breaking export sanctions.
Documents reveal that organizations involved in attempting to gain access to resources for AI processing include Zhejiang Lab, a state-sponsored research institution; Shenzhen University, a government-funded research university.
