The United States government is exploring the implementation of location-tracking technologies in artificial intelligence (AI) chips as part of efforts to prevent the unauthorized export of advanced semiconductors, particularly Nvidia's AI chips, to China. This initiative, referenced in the AI Action Plan announced by former President Donald Trump in July, involves potential software or physical modifications to enable chips to report their whereabouts. Senior officials, including White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios, have confirmed that the US is considering geo-tagged GPUs and other tracking mechanisms to curb smuggling and maintain control over cutting-edge AI technology. The move underscores Washington's broader strategy to restrict China's access to high-performance semiconductors amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. Discussions about these measures continue as the US seeks to enhance supply chain security and enforce export controls on critical AI hardware.
