华盛顿9月25日路透电 —— 美国两党议员团体周五提出一项法案,禁止联邦政府在敏感政府系统中使用用于人工智能数据中心数据传输的中国制造组件。

这类设备被称为光收发器,可让数据以光速在光纤电缆中传输,是美国人工智能基础设施部署的核心组件,部分数据中心需要数百万台此类设备。

该法案进一步加大了对中国光收发器制造商的施压力度,这些企业主导着人工智能数据中心关键零部件的市场。

该法案支持者表示,北京方面可能利用这些设备干扰美国对人工智能工具和云计算服务的访问。

这项由共和党人约翰·科宁、戴夫·麦科马克以及民主党人约翰·费特曼和鲁本·加列戈共同发起的限制措施,将适用于中国的光迅科技和中际旭创(300308.SZ)生产的光收发器。

“我们不应在对国家安全至关重要的技术上依赖中国,”麦科马克在一份新闻稿中表示。

“关键的政府通信和信息系统必须安全、可靠,且不受任何外国干预,但中国技术的使用破坏了这一目标,”科宁说道。

此前被列入五角大楼所谓中国军工企业清单的中际旭创、光迅科技以及中国大使馆均未立即回应置评请求。

但美国业界辩称,此举将放缓美国人工智能基础设施的建设进程,让中国占据优势,因为超大规模云计算企业正争相寻找其他供应商。

科技游说团体信息技术行业委员会8月13日致信美国联邦通信委员会,呼吁该电信监管机构“不要将光收发器列入贸易黑名单”,强调“供应中断可能对数据中心部署和美国人工智能领先地位造成潜在影响”。

根据美国创新基金会的一份报告,美国相干公司和卢米特姆公司虽销售具有竞争力的技术,但规模不足以取代中国供应商。两家公司均未立即回应置评请求。

如果该法案获得通过,政府将有五年时间完成合规,美国商务部长和国防部长有权将更多企业列入清单。

WASHINGTON, Sept 25 (Reuters) – A bipartisan group of US lawmakers introduced legislation on Friday to bar the federal government from equipping sensitive government systems with Chinese-made components used ​to transmit data in AI data centers.

The devices, known as optical transceivers, allow ‌data to travel over fiber-optic cables at the speed of light and are at the heart of the US AI infrastructure rollout, with some data centers requiring millions of them.

The bill adds to growing ​pressure on Chinese optical transceiver makers, which dominate the market for parts critical ​to AI data centers.

Supporters of the legislation say the devices could be ⁠harnessed by Beijing to disrupt access to US AI tools and the cloud.

The restriction, ​sponsored by Republicans John Cornyn and Dave McCormick as well as Democrats John Fetterman and ​Ruben Gallego, would apply to optical transceivers made by China’s Eoptolink and Zhongji Innolight (300308.SZ).

“We shouldn’t rely on China for technologies that are essential to our national security,” McCormick said, according to a press release.

“Critical ​government communication and information systems must be safe, reliable, and free of any foreign ​interference, but the use of Chinese technology undermines that mission,” said Cornyn.

Innolight, which was added to a ‌Pentagon list ⁠of alleged Chinese military-backed companies, Eoptolink, and the Chinese Embassy did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

But the US industry has argued such a move would slow the US AI infrastructure buildout, ceding ground to China, as hyperscalers scramble to find other suppliers.

The ​Information Technology Industry Council, ​a tech lobbying ⁠group, sent a letter to the FCC on August 13 calling on the telecoms watchdog to “refrain from adding optical transceivers” to a trade ​blacklist, emphasizing the “potential effects that supply disruptions could have on data ​center deployment ⁠and U.S. AI leadership.”

U.S.-based firms Coherent and Lumentum sell competitive technology but lack the scale to replace Chinese vendors, according to a report by the Foundation for American Innovation. They did ⁠not ​immediately respond to requests for comment.

If the legislation were ​approved, the government would have five years to comply and the Secretaries of Commerce and Defense would have the ​authority to add additional companies to the list.
