Malaysia and Singapore increase scrutiny of Nvidia AI chip sales
Malaysia and Singapore are stepping up probes into Nvidia AI chips amid controversy involving the company’s chief executive, Jensen Huang.
Singapore said firms there booked 22% of Nvidia’s chip sales, but only 1% of the chips arrived in the country.
The figures show a large gap between the sales booked to Singapore firms and the chips that reached Singapore.
The gap has raised scrutiny of Southeast Asia’s AI sector and Nvidia chip sales in the region.
The information available does not say what the probes have found or what steps officials will take next.
It also does not give further details about the controversy involving Huang.
