The U.S. struggles to stop China from getting AI chips despite export rules. Chinese companies create their chips or find ways around restrictions. A lawmaker named Bill Foster wants to put tracking devices inside NVIDIA chips sold abroad. His plan would let officials shut down chips used without proper permission. Foster brings scientific experience to this debate as a physicist with a computer design background.
The Illinois Democrat plans a bill that creates these remote control features for exported tech. He worries China might use these chips to design weapons or develop advanced AI systems similar to nuclear threats. NVIDIA claims it cannot track where its products end up after sale. China accesses these chips through unidentified trade gaps. The Trump team might consider this kill switch idea reasonable, given their past surprising decisions.
