Security Concerns Cloud Nvidia's H20 Chips in China
China raises security concerns over Nvidia's H20 chips, claiming they may pose backdoor access risks. The chips, described as neither technologically advanced nor environmentally friendly, were developed for China following U.S. restrictions on advanced AI chips. Nvidia denies any security risks, asserting no backdoor presence.
China has expressed security concerns over Nvidia's H20 chips, alleging potential backdoor access risks, according to a social media account linked to the state media. This comes after Beijing questioned the security integrity of these chips developed specifically for the Chinese market.
The Chinese account, Yuyuan Tantian, affiliated with state broadcaster CCTV, criticized the H20 chips for not being technologically advanced or environmentally sustainable. It warned consumers about the potential risks, emphasizing they have the option to reject the product due to safety concerns.
Nvidia has rebutted the claims, asserting that its H20 chips contain no backdoors that enable remote access or control. Despite the allegations, the company maintains the lack of security vulnerabilities in its products as it faces skepticism from Chinese media, including criticism by People's Daily, urging for compelling security assurances.
