PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is set to tighten semiconductor regulations amid US pressure to curb the unauthorised flow of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chips to China.
Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said Washington has asked the country to closely track the movement of high-end Nvidia chips that enter the country, over suspicion that many are ending up in China, in violation of US export rules.
