Bangkok-based SiamAI denies allegations it circumvented U.S. export restrictions to ship AI servers to China

SiamAI issued a formal denial on Saturday regarding claims that it acted as an intermediary for advanced chips from Super Micro Computer and Nvidia, stating in an official statement: 'SiamAI has not engaged in the export of AI servers to China.'

U.S. prosecutors allege that at least $2.5 billion in sensitive American AI technology has been illegally shipped to China, with investigators highlighting a specific window between April and mid-May 2025, during which more than $500 million worth of equipment was allegedly moved.

Thailand has recently emerged as a significant hub for digital infrastructure, attracting billions of dollars in investments for data centers from Microsoft, Google, and TikTok, positioning the country as a critical node in the global AI supply chain but increasing oversight from Western regulators concerned about potential technology leakage to prohibited markets.
