Investing.com -- Malaysia’s trade ministry is checking if a Chinese company in the country is using servers with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and AI chips to train large language models.

The ministry stated on Wednesday that it "is still in the process of verifying the matter with relevant agencies if any domestic law or regulation has been breached."

This verification follows a Wall Street Journal report that Chinese engineers traveled to Malaysia in early March with suitcases containing hard drives. According to the report, these engineers aimed to build AI models using Malaysian data centers that have servers equipped with Nvidia chips.

The Malaysian authorities are currently investigating whether this activity violates any local regulations.
