According to reports from Hong Kong and Chinese media, after China raised security issues on NVIDIA (Nvidia) H20 artificial intelligence (AI) chips, NVIDIA responded on Thursday (July 31) that there is no "back door" that allows remote access or control on its AI chips.
NVIDIA emphasizes, "Internet security is of great importance to us. NVIDIA's chips do not have a "back door" and will not allow anyone to access or control these chips at a distance."
The National Internet Information Office of China (Network) stated on July 31 that it discussed NVIDIA's recent "severe security issues" in the NVIDIA computing chip, requiring it to provide explanations and submit relevant certification data on the security risk issues of the H20 computing chip vulnerability "back door" sold in China.
According to a document issued by the China Network Information Office, the NVIDIA computing power chip has been exposed to have serious safety problems recently. Before this, U.S. congressmen called for advanced chips exported by the United States to be equipped with the "tracking and positioning" function. Experts in the field of AI in the United States revealed that the "tracking positioning" and "far-end closing" technologies of NVIDIA computing power chips have matured. In order to maintain Chinese users' online safety and data security, the Internet Information Office discussed NVIDIA on July 31 according to the relevant provisions of China's "Internet Security Law", "Data Security Law" and "Personal Information Protection Law".
