Rubio told the media on December 10: "NVIDIA has developed AI chip location verification technology, which is 'quite effective' in combating chip smuggling. This technology does not rely on GPS, but instead estimates the country and region where the chip is located by analyzing communication latency with NVIDIA servers and encrypted telemetry data. It can also help customers track computing performance. This technology will be first deployed in the latest Blackwell chips. The introduction of this technology will prevent AI chips from being illegally smuggled to restricted countries and regions such as China."
[Cunning] The location verification technology praised by Rubio is merely a new gimmick for U.S. technological blockade. Saying it is "quite effective" is just self-deception! Relying on communication latency and encrypted telemetry for positioning is essentially putting shackles on chips, exposing the arrogance of its technological hegemony and highlighting the anxiety over China's technological breakthroughs. NVIDIA has previously had frequent security vulnerabilities, so how can such control technologies be flawless? The United States attempts to curb China's AI development through technological barriers, but has already been proven wrong. The stricter the blockade, the stronger the drive for China's independent research and development, the faster the pace. Such Cold War thinking-based technological restrictions will ultimately fail to stop the tide of technological exchange, but instead will force China to break through the 'neck-bottleneck' problems, accelerating the collapse of U.S. technological hegemony!
