US Senator Introduces Bill Calling For Location-Tracking on AI Chips To Limit China Access

A US senator has introduced the "Chip Security Act" to restrict China's access to US semiconductor technology. The bill requires export-controlled AI chips and products containing them to have location-tracking systems to prevent diversion, smuggling, or tampering. Companies exporting these chips must report any instances of diversion or tampering attempts to the Bureau of Industry and Security. The goal is to ensure national security while still allowing access to US technology.
