Nvidia privately told a congressman it can track its chips, despite industry denials
Democratic congressman Bill Foster told MIT Technology Review that Nvidia representatives privately said the company could comply with the anti-smuggling measures of the Chip Security Act, which would require verifying where its processors are located. According to Foster, the reaction was "yes, of course we can do it," though they never put it in writing. Nvidia did not respond to requests for comment. In March 2026 the Semiconductor Industry Association, of which Nvidia is a member, called those requirements "new, untested and potentially unworkable."
