Chinese AI firms rush to secure Nvidia chip capacity as spy scandal stirs fear of US curbs: Reuters
Firms are reserving overseas cloud capacity as the House-passed RASA bill could give the Commerce Department power over remote access to restricted chips.
- Chinese artificial intelligence companies are seeking to rent Nvidia-powered computing capacity at overseas data centers, fearing a scandal involving CEO Jensen Huang could spur Washington to tighten restrictions on remote access to advanced processors.
- The Remote Access Security Act, or RASA, would grant the Commerce Department authority to regulate cloud-based access to restricted technology; the House passed the bill in January by a 369-22 vote, and companies worry controversy surrounding Huang will accelerate its passage.

- On Sunday, Huang admitted to infidelity, prompting companies to accelerate risk mitigation as remote access remains vital for China's developers to train large AI models without importing restricted chips directly.
