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.
