Comment by Scott J Mulligan

Early-stage investor at Rainfall Ventures and former MIT Technology Review AI reporter writing on AI policy and chip smuggling.
But the reality is that we have limited knowledge on the smuggling market and the exact number of chips even being trafficked. So although location verification for AI chips is not a perfect solution to end all smuggling, it could still be an effective tool and a step toward knowing more about this hidden trade, helping underfunded regulators enforce restrictions that already exist.
