Taiwan has charged nine individuals with illegally exporting AI servers and advanced semiconductors to China, with the accused including employees from Nvidia and Super Micro Computer. The case highlights growing tensions over AI infrastructure exports as the U.S. and China compete for technological superiority in artificial intelligence capabilities. Taiwan's action reflects escalating enforcement efforts to prevent the transfer of sensitive computing technology to China amid broader geopolitical competition.
New Zealand's government has introduced legislation requiring high-risk social media platforms to prevent access by users under 16 through age verification methods, with non-compliant companies facing fines up to 10 percent of global revenue. The proposed framework places legal obligations on platforms rather than children or parents to identify and mitigate risks, including exposure to harmful content and addictive design practices, and is designed to evolve alongside emerging technologies like AI companions. The move aligns with similar regulatory efforts in Spain and France to shift responsibility for child online safety from families to technology companies.
The Trusted Computing Group has published requirements defining what qualifies a Trusted Platform Module as quantum-safe, addressing a critical need for post-quantum cryptography readiness in systems that protect cryptographic keys and verify firmware integrity. These guidelines provide buyers with a standardized baseline to request and verify vendor evidence that TPM implementations meet post-quantum cryptography standards. This guidance enables organizations to make informed procurement decisions and validate quantum-readiness claims from TPM vendors.
