Nvidia Rejects Claims of Backdoors in AI Chips After China Summons
Nvidia, a big maker of AI chips, is saying its chips don't have any hidden ways for people to get in or control them, like a 'backdoor'.
This comes after China asked Nvidia about security risks.
The US had previously considered adding a way to track where chips are, but Nvidia says backdoors would be bad for security and trust.
They've also started selling a special chip to China again after a short break.
Nvidia denies its chips have backdoors following China's concerns.
China's cybersecurity regulator summoned Nvidia over 'backdoor security risks'.
