Nvidia has dismissed Chinese government security concerns regarding its H20 AI chip, which is a modified version of the H100 GPU designed specifically for the Chinese market. Despite China’s Cyberspace Administration halting sales and summoning Nvidia over alleged backdoors and remote shutdown capabilities, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated there are no such security vulnerabilities. The dispute follows US trade restrictions and negotiations allowing limited chip sales to China, with Nvidia instructing suppliers like Amkor Technology and Samsung to pause H20 production amid the controversy. China aims to develop domestic AI chips to reduce reliance on Nvidia, while Chinese tech firms warn that restrictions could hinder their AI progress. (Updated 22 Aug 2025, 22:31 IST; source: link)
