Malaysia’s customs department said on Friday it had thwarted an attempt to smuggle advanced artificial intelligence chips worth $12.93 million through the country’s main airport this month.
On June 5, authorities carrying out an inspection at Kuala Lumpur International Airport found 72 server units containing advanced AI chips that had been flown in to the airport’s free trade zone.
The items had been falsely declared as ‘computer components’ to avoid detection, with Malaysia listed as a transit destination to circumvent restrictions before they arrived at the destination country.
