Nvidia opposes the installation of the kill switch in its graphics cards. The proposal has been called „an invitation to disaster.”.

Nvidia rejected Chinese accusations that its data center GPUs for AI include a hardware function that could remotely deactivate the chips, which is commonly called a "kill switch." "NVIDIA GPUs do not and should not have kill switches and backdoors," wrote Nvidia's chief security officer.

Nvidia wants to make it crystal clear that it's against the idea of AI chip kill switches and backdoors that would allow monitoring.
