Bipartisan legislators introduced the Chip Security Act, requiring high-end GPUs and AI chips to have location-tracking safeguards. This ensures that US-designed components aren't misused or diverted to adversarial nations like China. Exporters will be liable for compliance and must report any violations to the Bureau of Industry and Security, contributing to national security efforts against smuggling and misuse of advanced technology. The legislation aims to maintain the US's technological advantage amidst rising concerns about the misuse of advanced AI chips.
If passed, the proposed bill would require that, within 180 days of enactment, certain advanced chips and systems as defined by US export control codes be equipped with some kind of "location verification mechanism."
With advanced AI chips being smuggled into China and posing a national security risk, Congress must act," Foster said in a canned statement.
