Nvidia Develops Chip Location Verification Technology to Prevent Smuggling

Nvidia has built location verification technology to indicate what country its chips are operating in, a move that could help prevent the chips from being smuggled into countries where the export is banned, Stephen Nellis and Michael Martina of Reuters reports, citing sources familiar with the matter. The feature would be offered a software option that customers could install and would tap into the confidential computing capabilities of its GPUs, the sources added. The feature has not yet been released.
