China Summons Nvidia to Discuss Security Risks of H20 Chip

Beijing authorities summoned Nvidia Corp. to discuss alleged security risks related to its H20 chips, casting doubt over the Chinese business of the world’s most valuable company weeks after co-founder Jensen Huang met senior officials in the country.

The Cyberspace Administration of China called company representatives into a meeting to discuss what it deemed serious security vulnerabilities with the artificial intelligence chip. In a statement, the internet watchdog cited comments by US lawmakers about the need to install tracking capabilities into advanced chips sold to other countries. The agency asked staff to explain potential risks and provide documents as needed, the CAC said without elaborating.
