Two Chinese nationals residing in California have been indicted by U.S. authorities for allegedly exporting tens of millions of dollars worth of advanced AI chips to China, violating export controls. The chips, including those manufactured by Nvidia, are subject to restrictions aimed at preventing their use in military applications and maintaining U.S. technological advantages. The charges highlight ongoing efforts to combat the illicit transfer of sensitive technology to countries of concern and underscore the importance of enforcing export regulations on high-performance computing hardware.
