While Washington has given Nvidia guarantees that he will be allowed to resume exports from its general processing units made for China H20, the AI chips can receive a greater scrutiny of Beijing.
According to the administration of the cyberspace of China, Nvidia met with Beijing officials on Thursday regarding possible national security concerns raised by their H20 chips, which recently saw restrictions on their export raised after an effective prohibition in April.
NVIDIA was requested to clarify and send relevant support documentation regarding safety risks, including possible vulnerabilities and rear doors, associated with their H20 computer chips sold to China, “according to a CNBC translation of a CAC statement.
In a publication, the regulator said it was reported that NVIDIA computer chips have serious security vulnerabilities, and also pointed out the calls of US legislators to place mandatory monitoring characteristics in advanced chips exported from the country.
In his statement, Cac added that American experts had already revealed that Nvidia computer chips propose mature technologies of “monitoring and positioning” and “remote off.”
The statement seems to be referring to a Reuters report in May that said Bill Foster, a Illinois Democratic legislator, was planning to introduce legislation that would require advanced IA chips manufacturers such as NVIDIA to include a built -in location report system.
Forester, who once worked as a particle physicist and, according to reports, independent technical experts agreed that the technology to track chips was easily available, and much is already integrated into the Nvidia chips.
The Forester Law project would also seek to give the authorities of the power to close the chips used without the appropriate licenses, to a measure to combat smuggling and export export gaps.
Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comments from CNBC.
In recent weeks, many US legislators have also had problems with the reported reversal of Nvidia H20 chips, warning that they will advance in Beijing’s ability.
According to the reports, this week, Nvidia made orders for 300,000 sets of H20 chips with the TSMC contract manufacturer, since it seeks to meet Chinese demand.
