Report proposes methods to verify AI chip export compliance
Miles_Brundage · x · 2026-08-20
A new report by IAPS addresses the challenge of verifying violations in US AI export controls. It outlines three core verification questions: end-location, end-user, and end-use. To verify end-location, the report suggests delay-based verification (pinging chips from trusted servers to determine physical location via latency), random return requests (demanding shipment within 48 hours, which is impossible if secretly in China), and inspections for high-risk cases. For end-user verification, it recommends enhanced KYC checks to screen buyers against corporate filings and ownership records to catch shell companies.
