China Summons Nvidia Over ‘Backdoor Security’ Risks of A.I. Chips
The New York TimesThursday, July 31, 2025 at 7:08:43 AM
Chinese regulators have called in Nvidia for talks over concerns that its AI chips might pose hidden security risks—what they're calling "backdoor" vulnerabilities. This isn't just a technical spat; it reflects growing tensions between the U.S. and China over tech dominance, especially in sensitive areas like artificial intelligence.
Editor’s Note: This story matters because it’s another flashpoint in the U.S.-China tech cold war. Nvidia’s chips are crucial for AI development, and if China restricts them over security fears, it could disrupt global supply chains and push Beijing to double down on homegrown alternatives. For businesses and researchers, it’s a reminder that geopolitics is now baked into every tech decision.
