Nvidia privately confirms chip location tracking is feasible

The Chip Security Act, promoted by the U.S. Congress, requires anti-smuggling measures such as location tracking for advanced AI chips. In March 2026, the industry organization to which Nvidia belongs publicly stated that such tracking requirements were 'untested and potentially infeasible.' But according to Illinois Representative Bill Foster, as reported by MIT Technology Review on November 13, 2026, Nvidia representatives privately told lawmakers in a previous technical discussion that the company has the ability to implement the anti-smuggling tracking measures required by the act. This private statement contradicts the public position of its industry organization, revealing a clear discrepancy between Nvidia's public and private statements on the feasibility of chip tracking. There is currently no further public information on the act's progress or Nvidia's response to the report.
