華盛頓,11月9日(路透社)——美國眾議院民主黨領袖哈基姆・傑佛瑞斯(Hakeem Jeffries)週一表示,在有報導稱輝達執行長黃仁勳曾成為外國情報行動目標後,國會需要更多答案。WASHINGTON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - US House of Representatives Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said on Monday that Congress needs more answers after reports emerged that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence effort.
傑佛瑞斯也呼籲眾議院通過年度國防法案,其中納入目前美國參議院審議中一項法案所包含的對中國晶片銷售限制。Jeffries also called for the House to pass an annual defense bill that includes restrictions on chip sales to China that are included in a bill now before the US Senate.
傑佛瑞斯表示,關於輝達發生的事,「顯然國會需要更多資訊」。他並補充說,「輝達事件確實有一些需要處理的疑慮」。"Clearly Congress needs more information," about what happened at Nvidia, Jeffries said, adding that there are "real concerns that need to be addressed with respect to the Nvidia situation."
傑佛瑞斯表示,國會領袖週一與中央情報局(CIA)局長約翰・拉特克里夫(John Ratcliffe)及國家情報總監傑伊・克雷頓(Jay Clayton)舉行機密簡報,會中曾簡短討論輝達,但主要聚焦伊朗。傑佛瑞斯說:「我們需要一場完整簡報,專門針對輝達事件,這樣大家才能徹底弄清楚究竟發生了什麼事。」Jeffries said a classified briefing for congressional leaders on Monday with CIA director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton briefly discussed Nvidia but mostly focused on Iran. "We're going to need a full briefing specifically as it relates to the Nvidia situation so we can all get to the bottom of what has happened," Jeffries said.
輝達的內部調查,是在一則媒體報導後展開。該報導稱,黃仁勳與一名中國女商人關係密切,而該女商人據稱曾向北京傳遞資訊。黃仁勳告訴輝達員工,他曾對妻子不忠,但沒有透露這段關係的細節。The internal Nvidia probe followed a media report that Huang had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who allegedly passed information to Beijing. Huang told Nvidia's employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife, without disclosing details of the relationship.
參議院版國防法案包含多項條款,將賦予國會對流向中國的AI晶片更多權限,促使美國盟友限制對中國銷售半導體製造設備,並要求企業追蹤其在海外的AI晶片,以打擊走私。A Senate version of the defense bill contains provisions to give Congress more authority on AI chips going to China, prodding US allies to restrict sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China and requiring businesses to track their AI chips abroad to combat smuggling.
傑佛瑞斯表示,他「強烈支持」在年度國防法案最終版本中納入限制向中國銷售美國晶片的規定。Jeffries said he "strongly supports" restrictions on sales of US chips to China in the final version of the annual defense bill.
目前尚不清楚傑佛瑞斯是否計畫解散中國問題特別委員會,或成立AI政策特別委員會。It was unclear whether Jeffries planned to disband the China select committee or create a special committee on AI policy.
