Rep Bill Foster says Nvidia chips can be tracked by location, acknowledging private anti-smuggling view

U.S. Representative Bill Foster said Nvidia privately judged it is possible to track the location of high-performance AI chips. The remarks run counter to semiconductor industry arguments against mandating safety measures for advanced AI chips. The dispute centres on whether it is technically possible to verify chips moving in ways that bypass export controls or use restrictions. Foster said companies’ public statements may differ from internal assessments, potentially shifting the debate toward policy choices.
