Nvidia Corp.
(NASDAQ:NVDA) has reportedly slashed the number of approved AI chip buyers across parts of Asia after introducing stricter compliance measures designed to prevent its advanced processors from reaching China.
Nvidia Tightens Customer Screening Across Asia Nvidia has reduced by more than half the number of Asian customers authorized to purchase its AI chips after creating a new "white list" of approved buyers, Reuters reported on Monday (via the Financial Times).
The report, citing three people familiar with the matter, said the chipmaker has spent the past several months strengthening due diligence efforts in Singapore, Malaysia and Japan.
The tighter screening process is intended to ensure customers comply with U.S. export controls aimed at restricting China's access to cutting-edge AI hardware.
