Malaysia seizes smuggled AI chips worth US$12 million at Kuala Lumpur airport
Malaysia is closely monitoring the export of advanced US-made AI chips following pressure from the US to stem their flow into China
Malaysia imposed export controls last year on the movement of advanced AI chips of US origin, following pressure from the United States to stem their flow into China.
On October 15, authorities found 30 server units containing advanced AI chips during an inspection at Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s free-trade zone, the airport’s customs director Aspalila Ag Tuah told reporters.
