Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits to affair with alleged Chinese spy as company board launches investigation
Good lord what is happening in there.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, an executive at Chinese AI firm Megaspeed, according to a draft email apology obtained by Axios. The affair reportedly ended Huang's marriage and "hurt her and our children," though Huang does not seek to step down as CEO of Nvidia.
Chinese authorities suspect Alice Huang of passing sensitive information to China's Ministry of State Security, though the Chinese government denies these allegations. Nvidia's board has formed an independent committee to investigate the affair, but does not believe the relationship compromised Nvidia's company or national security interests.
The US government has been increasingly confrontational with China, viewing AI development as a national security matter and imposing restrictions on advanced AI chips to Chinese companies. AI-related developments have become a contentious issue in US politics and public opinion.
