Unless/until there is a risk that the chips themselves are backdoored and trying to exfiltrate data, European companies that host in Europe still solve a big problem for use of certain data in Europe.

It's not a purity test. Relying on US chips in not the same deal-breaker for all but the most extreme situation as relying on a poorly regulated US company to run the inference.

Out of curiosity, how does a chip that does inference calculations exfiltrate data without being seen?

Has this happened already or is it just conceptually possible?

[vidarh]

Not to my knowledge, and that's the point.

Though cards could if a provider has poor opsec. But I see no particular reason to worry about that either.

Sure, but it's probably not that easy to exfiltrate multi-terabyte datasets without being detected.

That's kinda the point. It's a far more remote threat.
