Chip Security Act: Protecting Technology and Export Control

This act aims to strengthen the security of advanced computer chips produced in the U.S. to prevent their unauthorized use abroad. It introduces mandatory location tracking and reporting mechanisms, intended to protect American technology and national security. For citizens, this means that advanced technologies, which can impact their security, will be better protected from uncontrolled proliferation.
Key points
Requirement for location tracking mechanisms in advanced chips before export.
Mandatory reporting if chips are found in an unauthorized location or tampered with.
Development of additional safeguards to prevent unauthorized use and smuggling of chips.
Potential for more flexible export controls for chips with advanced security features.
