AI Summary
Nvidia’s representatives told Illinois Rep. Bill Foster that the tracking requirements in his Chip Security Act, aimed at curbing chip smuggling, are technically feasible. This confirmation comes amid heightened scrutiny of the act after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned amid reports of an affair with an alleged Chinese spy.
