KUALA LUMPUR: The Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) is investigating an allegation that Nvidia’s artificial intelligence (AI) chips in servers linked to a fraud case were moved from Singapore to Malaysia.
“We will issue our comments once we get further details,” the ministry said yesterday, responding to queries from Malaysian media on the allegation.
Yesterday, Singapore Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam said the servers linked to a fraud case in the country might have contained Nvidia’s AI chips, which were sent to Malaysia.
“The question is whether Malaysia was a final destination, or, from Malaysia, it went somewhere else, which we do not know for certain at this point.
“But we assessed that there may have been false representation on the final destination of the servers,” he reportedly said. — Bernama
