Senator Tom Cotton has introduced the Chip Security Act, a bill that mandates U.S. chipmakers AMD, Intel, and Nvidia to embed location-tracking technology in high-performance AI and high-performance computing (HPC) processors. The legislation aims to prevent the illicit smuggling of advanced chips to China and other rival countries by enabling location verification. The bill is set to take effect six months after enactment.

This move reflects growing concerns within the U.S. government about Chinese espionage activities, including reports of Chinese nationals and students engaging in intelligence gathering on American campuses. Lawmakers, including Senators Rick Scott and Ted Cruz, have also proposed legislation to ban Communist Chinese spies from U.S. universities and impose a 300% tax on foreign funding to universities to curb foreign influence. Additionally, there is bipartisan support to restrict student visas for Chinese nationals due to fears that they are legally required to collect intelligence for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). These legislative efforts are part of a broader push to protect U.S. technological assets and intellectual property from foreign adversaries, particularly China.

Foreign adversaries like China have funneled billions into U.S. universities to buy access, shape curriculum, and silence dissent. My bill with @SenTedCruz slaps a 300% tax on that cash and mandates strict audits. It’s time to end foreign influence in our schools. https://t.co/YjAnMXaqVR
