US Employs Hidden Trackers to Combat AI Chip Diversion to China

To combat the illicit export of advanced AI chips to China, the US government is secretly equipping select shipments with location-tracking devices. This move comes as part of a broader strategy initiated in 2022, following restrictions on cutting-edge semiconductor exports to China. The covert surveillance system allows authorities to track chip deliveries and determine their final destination, preventing them from ending up in restricted areas.
