Google and Microsoft Provide Nvidia Chips to Chinese Companies

The Information, a technology news site, reported on Wednesday that the cloud computing divisions of Google and Microsoft are offering Chinese companies access to Nvidia's artificial intelligence chips by providing data center services located outside of China. The news site, citing an insider, indicated that Google allows clients in China to use servers located outside Chinese territory, confident that its offerings comply with U.S. export controls. The Biden administration has taken steps to prevent companies in China from using U.S. artificial intelligence technology, including advanced semiconductors, amid growing security concerns in the flourishing sector.
