News & Reviews:   AI chips

According to BERNAMA and Astro Awani, the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (JKDM) successfully detected and seized 72 server units containing advanced AI chips with an estimated value of around RM52.9 million, before they were re-exported to an unspecified Asian country. This shows that the AI chips were not for use here, but rather, Malaysia was only used as a temporary stopover.

As President Trump continues to impose restrictions with his tariffs, his administration recently announced of considering major changes to a Biden-era rule. This includes potentially removing the current tier-based system that governs how many chips countries can receive.
