Preventing technology from flowing to China, the United States introduces a new bill: AI chips need to be equipped with GPS

is to strengthen the monitoring of high-level chip exports, especially in the Chinese market. The US inter-party members proposed the "Diagram Safety Act" in the Public House Thursday, and the previous week the chamber also introduced a similar bill. According to the proposal, all high-level GPUs and AI chips must set up position tracking mechanisms within 180 days to ensure that technology does not flow into specific countries.

The bill requires exporters to report to the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Safety (BIS) if they find that the chip is being transferred, used or tampered with. This means that if, for example, Nvidia's accelerator appears in China after being sold to Singapore, or tracking technology is turned off, Nvidia must report it immediately.

The National Congressmen supporting the bill, including Bill Huizenga of Michigan and Bill Foster of Illinois, emphasize that this measure is important in preventing high-level GPUs from flowing into China through smuggling networks. "With advanced AI chips being smuggled into China, this threatens the national security structure and the country must take action," Foster said.

Although the bill does not clearly state the way of tracking mechanisms to operate, the minister of commerce must require relevant AI chips to have position verification capabilities within six months after the bill comes into effect. Long-term safety regulations will be evaluated over the next year.

The proposal of this bill comes as the Trump administration canceled Biden's expansion rules, which were intended to limit the export of high-level chips. Baigong has promised to introduce new control measures, but details remain unclear.
