Nvidia probes CEO Huang amid reports of Chinese spy links to Singapore-based firm
NEW YORK: Chip giant Nvidia’s board announced Sunday it opened a probe into Chief Executive and co-founder Jensen Huang after he acknowledged an affair with a woman US officials say was working for Chinese intelligence.
Nvidia's board initiated an investigation into CEO Jensen Huang following revelations that he had an affair with a Chinese woman, according to US officials. The woman, identified as Alice Huang – also known as Huang Le, and unrelated to Nvidia's founder – was reportedly linked to a Singapore-based data center firm called Megaspeed.
The woman allegedly funneled information to Beijing, as revealed by US intelligence sources. In a message to employees, Huang apologized to his family and company staff, stating he was unfaithful to his wife and expressed deep regret. While the board has no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, the inquiry will examine all available information.
The Chinese government dismissed the report as groundless speculation. This development poses significant challenges for Nvidia, a key player in the AI industry, and could lead to congressional inquiries and stock market volatility.
