US lawmaker targets Nvidia chip smuggling to China with new bill
Published on 05/05/2025
» SAN FRANCISCO - A US lawmaker plans to introduce legislation in coming weeks to verify the location of artificial-intelligence chips like those made by Nvidia after they are sold. The effort to keep tabs on the chips, which drew bipartisan support from US lawmakers, aims to address reports of widespread smuggling of Nvidia's chips into China in violation of US export control laws. Nvidia's chips are a critical ingredient for creating AI systems such as chatbots, image generators and more specialised ones that can help craft biological weapons. Both President Donald Trump and his predecessor, Joe Biden, have implemented progressively tighter export controls of Nvidia's chips to China. But Reuters and other news organisations have documented how some of those chips have continued to flow into China, and Nvidia has publicly claimed it cannot track its products after they are sold.
