Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. Which US agency primarily administers export controls on advanced AI chips?
   • The Bureau of Industry and Security (Commerce Department)
   • The Federal Reserve
   • NASA
   • The Department of Agriculture
2. In the initial 2022 U.S. advanced-computing controls, which Nvidia GPU became a prominent example of a restricted chip?
   • RTX 3060
   • H100
   • Jetson Nano
   • GeForce GTX 1080
3. What published interconnect specification distinguishes the NVIDIA A800 from H100-class examples?
   • The A800 has no memory bandwidth
   • The A800 uses an optical camera interconnect
   • The A800 page lists up to 400 GB/s NVLink bandwidth, versus 900 GB/s on the H100 page
   • The A800 was designed only for gaming laptops
4. Under the October 2022 U.S. BIS rule, what category of items was controlled in addition to specified advanced-computing chips?
   • Every EUV system worldwide under U.S. law
   • All consumer graphics cards regardless of destination
   • Only smartphone cameras
   • Certain semiconductor-manufacturing equipment and related items
5. Export thresholds are defined mainly by which approach?
   • Measurable technical specs like compute performance and interconnect bandwidth
   • The chip's color and packaging
   • The marketing name printed on the box
   • The price in US dollars
6. Where is ASML’s global headquarters, according to the company?
   • Austin, Texas
   • Veldhoven, the Netherlands
   • Seoul, South Korea
   • Singapore
7. What role does an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) play under the EAR?
   • It names the chip manufacturer
   • It reports a GPU’s benchmark score
   • It classifies an item and helps determine applicable export-control requirements
   • It grants an automatic export license
8. Why is a chip model name alone insufficient to determine current export-control status?
   • Every chip is controlled in the same way worldwide
   • Model names determine the law permanently
   • Only the manufacturer’s headquarters matters
   • Rules can depend on technical thresholds, destination, end user, and end use
