The Center for AI Safety Action Fund is proud to endorse the Chip Security Act because it addresses one of the most urgent gaps in U.S. national security: the large-scale smuggling of advanced AI chips to our adversaries. An estimated 140,000 advanced chips—worth $5–7 billion—were diverted to the PRC in 2024 alone, powering everything from PLA missile simulations to Uyghur surveillance systems. The Chip Security Act closes this gap by requiring location verification for AI chips, a proven technology that can deploy at scale without kill switches, backdoors, or hardware changes.
We commend Subcommittee Chairman Bill Huizenga R-MI), Chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP Brian Moolenaar (R-MI), former Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford (R-AR), and Congressman Ted Lieu (D-CA), member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee for their leadership in advancing this critical legislation.
