US Department of Commerce warns against using Huawei chips ‘anywhere in the world’
The US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security has taken a tougher stance on Chinese technology advances, warning companies around the world that using artificial intelligence chips made by Huawei could trigger criminal penalties for violating US export controls. The Commerce Department issued guidance to clarify that Huawei’s Ascend processors were subject to export controls because they almost certainly contained, or were made with, US technology.
