00:00China's Cyberspace Administration has summoned NVIDIA representatives to explain alleged

00:05serious security vulnerabilities in its H20AI chips, including purported location tracking

00:12and remote shutdown capabilities.

00:14The H20 chip was designed specifically for the Chinese market in order to comply with

00:19U.S. export restrictions, but was recently reauthorized for sale by Washington after

00:24months of prohibition.

00:31just weeks after CEO Jensen Wang visited Beijing and unveiled new export-compliant GPUs.

00:38While U.S. lawmakers have proposed mandatory tracking features and exported AI chips, experts
