There's a very strange thing that happens when an industry starts to become incredibly relevant to national security: There's talk of spy movie-sounding tech like tracking and remote disablement. And no, I'm not talking about PC gaming—this is, of course, about Nvidia's AI chips and the potential that they could end up in China's hands.
According to Reuters, such remote tracking and disablement might actually be on the cards, if a bill planned by Democrat Representative Bill Foster comes into effect. The bill would have AI chips like Nvidia's be made in such a way that the country could keep a rough track of where they end up, and potentially even prevent them from booting if they're tracked to a restricted country.
