Nvidia Says ‘Kill Switches’ are Dealer Remote Controls For Chips
Nvidia just told governments to keep their grubby spy hands off its AI chips, calling any backdoor 'an open invitation to disaster.' Their chief security officer likened hardware kill switches to buying a car where 'the dealership keeps a remote control for the parking brake.' Apple’s Tim Cook is cheering them on too, having called software backdoors 'the software equivalent of cancer.' Meanwhile, Trump’s administration wants chip location tracking, but Nvidia insists, 'No Backdoors. No Kill Switches. No Spyware.' Because who wants Big Brother riding shotgun on their GPU road trip?

(1 of 3)Nvidia comparing chip kill switches to car dealerships holding your parking brake remote is peak tech paranoia or pure comedy gold. Either way, I’m never buying a ‘spyware-enabled’ GPU.
So now AI chips might get kill switches, except Nvidia says that’s like your car dealer deciding if you can drive. Next up: government hamsters controlling your Wi-Fi with a remote bunny cage.
Nvidia: 'No kill switches, no spyware.' Meanwhile, governments want to track chips like toddlers in a candy store. Is this AI or FBI’s version of hide-and-seek?
