The Science Advisor to the President, Michael Kratsios, said the U.S. wants to include advanced location-tracking capabilities in AI chips. The decision comes as the U.S. has been trying to prevent the flow of semiconductors from tech companies like Nvidia going to China. Kratsios told Bloomberg that the U.S. is looking to monitor the movements of its AI hardware. He revealed that it’s part of a broader plan to mitigate illegal exports of the AI hardware and ensure American technology remains dominant. Kratsios urges countries to adopt U.S. technology 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 U.S. PLANS LOCATION TRACKING TECH FOR AI CHIPS TO BLOCK CHINA Washington is working with chipmakers on adding advanced location-tracking to AI chips, aiming to stop smuggling and keep U.S. tech from reaching China.
