Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang publicly urged server partner Super Micro Computer to strengthen compliance measures. This rare rebuke follows the detention of three individuals in Taiwan for smuggling high-end AI chips to China.
Authorities accuse the suspects of using fraudulent documents to export Super Micro servers equipped with restricted Nvidia hardware. This case represents Taiwan's first major crackdown on the illicit export of restricted semiconductor technology.
Huang told reporters in Taipei that Super Micro remains responsible for its own business operations and regulatory adherence. The incident highlights increasing scrutiny of the AI supply chain under U.S. export controls.
