Taiwan indicts nine over alleged illegal export of AI servers to China

TAIPEI: Taiwan prosecutors said on Monday they indicted nine people, including employees of Nvidia and Super Micro, accused of illegal export of artificial intelligence servers to China.

Semiconductor powerhouse Taiwan is the world’s ‌largest producer ⁠of advanced ⁠chips used in AI applications. Prosecutors this year investigated the suspected illegal export of servers equipped with Nvidia chips subject to U.S. export controls.

Washington has imposed curbs since 2022 making it illegal for ​such semiconductors to be ⁠exported or ‌sold in China.
