Taiwanese prosecutors have indicted nine people, including employees of Nvidia and Super Micro Computer, over their alleged involvement in an illegal scheme to export high-end artificial intelligence servers to China.
The case involves 130 AI servers equipped with advanced Nvidia chips. Prosecutors allege that the suspects used false information and forged documents to obtain approval for the servers under the claim that they would remain in Taiwan.
According to prosecutors, 74 of the servers were ultimately shipped to China, with some routed through Indonesia, Japan and Hong Kong, while Taiwanese authorities intercepted the remaining 56 servers.
Eight of the defendants, including one Nvidia Taiwan employee and two employees of Super Micro’s Taiwan operations, have been charged with offences including breach of trust and document forgery. Three also face embezzlement-related charges.
Prosecutors allege that the suspects were aware of export-control requirements but acted for financial gain. They are seeking prison sentences of up to five years for several of the defendants.
The investigation comes amid growing restrictions on the transfer of advanced AI technology to China. The United States has imposed export controls on sophisticated Nvidia chips and related AI technology in an effort to limit China’s access to cutting-edge computing capabilities.
Nvidia said its employees are expected to comply with all applicable laws and that it would cooperate with Taiwanese authorities to resolve the allegations.
Super Micro said it had cooperated with the investigation and stressed that the company itself is not a target and has not been accused of wrongdoing.
Taiwan has tightened controls on the export of advanced technology in recent years as it seeks to prevent sensitive semiconductor technology and expertise from reaching China. The case highlights the growing pressure on Taiwan and technology companies to enforce restrictions amid intensifying competition between Washington and Beijing over artificial intelligence.
