Nvidia Says AI Chips Don't Have Kill Switch, Calls Them Open Invitation To Disaster
The article discusses Nvidia's response to the Cyberspace Administration of China's concerns about security vulnerabilities in Nvidia's H20 data center GPUs. Nvidia has assured that its AI chips do not have any backdoors, kill switches, or spyware, as this would undermine global data infrastructure and trust in U.S. technology. The company cites the "Clipper Chip Debacle" as an example of how such backdoors can be exploited by malicious actors. Nvidia argues that hardwiring a kill switch would create a permanent flaw that could harm America's economic and national security interests. The article suggests that while the U.S. government may want to have access to these GPUs, doing so would also give other governments and malicious actors the same access, which is an unacceptable risk.
