Flouting Joe Biden’s rules? Google, Microsoft ‘sneakily’ offer Nvidia chips to China companies: Report

Google and Microsoft’s cloud divisions are offering Chinese companies access to Nvidia’s AI chips, it was reported. The tech giants are providing data center services in locations outside China, the Information reported. This is being done as the Joe Biden administration has prevented China firms from using US technology for Artificial Intelligence (AI). This includes measures taken by the US to stop supply of advanced semiconductors as concerns over security continue to rise.

Earlier this year US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said as per news agency Reuters that the Joe Biden administration has proposed requiring cloud companies to determine whether foreign entities are accessing data centers in the United States to train AI models.
