China summons Nvidia over potential security concerns in H20 chips

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2026-01-16 06:46:00

What just happened? Nvidia's relief at being allowed to resume export of its China-specific H20 chips may be short-lived. The country's cyberspace regulator says that it met with Nvidia to discuss national security concerns related to the H20, including potential tracking and backdoors. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said that Nvidia was asked to "clarify and submit relevant supporting documentation regarding security risks, including potential vulnerabilities and backdoors, assoc

Nvidia’s China-bound H20 AI chips face Beijing scrutiny over ‘tracking’ and security concerns

cnbc.com Dylan Butts 2026-01-16 02:29:47

China is one of Nvidia's largest markets, particularly for data centers, gaming and artificial intelligence applications. While Nvidia has been given assurances by Washington that it will be allowed to resume exports of its made-for-China H20 general processing units, the AI chips' return may be met with increased scrutiny from Beijing. According to the Cyberspace Administration of China, Nvidia met with Beijing officials on Thursday regarding national security concerns posed by the H20 chips,

—Will Douglas Heaven For the past couple of years, OpenAI has felt like a one-man brand. With his showbiz style and fundraising glitz, CEO Sam Altman overshadows all other big names on the firm’s roster. But Altman is not the one building the technology on which its reputation rests. That responsibility falls to OpenAI’s twin heads of research—chief research officer Mark Chen and chief scientist Jakub Pachocki.

Mitja Rutnik / Android Authority AI is becoming more and more ingrained in our society, and that trend will only continue. I’ve been using ChatGPT and Gemini ever since they launched, and honestly, I can’t imagine my workday without them. I also use them for personal projects, which means I’ve shared a fair bit of highly private information with these chatbots. This brings up the crucial question of privacy.

Amazon poured more than $1 billion into its streaming series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, only for it to get a pretty tepid reception. So Amazon appears to be going for a new approach to streaming content: If you think you can do better, prove it. According to a report from Business Insider, the company is funding an AI streaming platform called Showrunner that, in theory, will let people create their own shows using generative AI tools.

Josh Hawley Says Trump Tariff Rebate Checks Won’t Go to ‘Biden Voters’

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2026-01-16 06:40:56

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) recently introduced legislation that he claims is designed to allow Americans to “benefit” from Trump’s tariff scheme. Now, he’s giving everyone good reason to believe that his ploy to send rebate checks at a time of rising inflation is just a political stunt. The administration’s tariffs are unprecedented in modern economic history and are currently generating revenue for the U.S. government by taxing U.S. businesses on their imports.

Professional Chefs Beg: Don't Buy These 20 Pointless Kitchen Gadgets

As long as we have kitchens, brands will continue to pump out tools. Many are essential, while others just collect dust or don't perform their duties any better than a great knife or pair of kitchen shears. Instead of chasing every buzzy new appliance, it pays to stick with gear that's versatile, reliable and actually makes your life easier.

Samsung's latest foldables are already making quite a statement, beyond their bold new designs -- or maybe because of them. The phone-maker said in a newsroom post Thursday that the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is its thinnest foldable yet, racked up more preorders "than any previous Z Fold device in US history." It added that both the Z Fold 7 and the Z Flip 7 saw a more than 25% hike in total preorders compared with last year's handsets. Carriers also saw an uptick in sales. Samsung says there was
