Nvidia CEO says ties to Singapore firm under spying probe were ‘normal’
An executive of Megaspeed International is said to be under investigation for spying for China
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has stated that the company's dealings with Singapore-based Megaspeed International were "normal and not unusual" following a report by The New York Times that an executive from the firm is under investigation for allegedly spying on behalf of China. Huang emphasized that his interactions with the executive were typical of those with Chinese customers and executives.
He also mentioned that the company has checked to ensure that Megaspeed did not illegally send its artificial intelligence processors to China, a country barred from buying Nvidia's powerful AI chips under US export rules. Huang further stated that his relationship with the executive was proper and that she is no longer with Megaspeed. He added that the US government has not informed him of its suspicions about the executive.
