Location Verification for AI Chips
This report introduces a design for a mechanism that can work on existing chips and verify their location to help enforce export control agreements, while being privacy preserving and reasonably tamper-proof.
Countering AI Chip Smuggling Has Become a National Security Priority
This new report catalogues evidence that substantial quantities of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chips are being smuggled into China, undermining U.S. national security. China has a long history of smuggling U.S. technology despite export restrictions, and AI chip smuggling is strongly incentivized by the superior performance, higher supply, and more mature software ecosystem of American AI chips compared to chips legally available to Chinese AI labs.

Join our community in Washington, D.C.
All fellows will begin the program with a two-week in-person residency in Washington, D.C. (September 1–12), where they will connect with the full IAPS team and partner experts. During this time, fellows will meet their designated expert, participate in trainings on AI systems and policy challenges, workshop their fellowship projects, and take part in a range of events—including roundtables, policy briefings, and informal networking gatherings.
For fellows based in D.C. throughout the program, IAPS will offer office space and regular in-person events to support ongoing collaboration and engagement.
Join remotely from around the world
IAPS welcomes remote fellows from many countries and provides multiple ways to stay connected and engaged. Every fellow (D.C. or remote) receives a support budget that can be used for in-person opportunities, such as attending conferences or meeting with their assigned expert.
As a remote-first organization, IAPS has the systems and experience to fully support remote participation and are able to legally hire in many countries. However, due to administrative or legal constraints, there may be some exceptions. These vary by individual circumstance, and we’ll follow up directly if there are any limitations based on your location. If you have questions about a specific country, feel free to contact us at info@iaps.ai.
