telemetry

.Nvidia has introduced an optional software suite that lets owners of its AI GPUs verify the physical location of their hardware via a lightweight client agent sending read‑only telemetry. The tool provides a global dashboard showing GPU health, IP addresses and inferred locations, but contains no “kill switch” or remote‑control capability. Developed amid U.S. pressure to embed tracking for export‑control compliance—particularly toward China—the service aims to help customers demonstrate jurisdictional compliance, though it raises privacy and security concerns among enterprise users.
