Nvidia probes report of CEO Huang’s relationship to alleged Chinese spy
The New York Times reported that US authorities were investigating Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, which buys Nvidia AI chips.
Nvidia, the graphics chip giant, has launched an independent probe following media reports alleging CEO Jensen Huang had a close business connection with a Chinese woman suspected of passing information to Beijing. Huang, in a message to staff, admitted to being unfaithful to his wife and taking full responsibility for his actions.
The report, first published by The New York Times, stated that US authorities are probing Alice Huang, a former executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based firm that imports Nvidia's AI chips. Megaspeed is under scrutiny for allegedly aiding Beijing in obtaining restricted AI technology.
Nvidia's board, comprising independent directors with outside legal counsel, will oversee the investigation. While the board has no indication of compromised US national security or Nvidia's proprietary information, the inquiry will assess all relevant data. Huang affirmed his support for the review and pledged to cooperate fully.
In his employee communication, Huang expressed remorse for his infidelity and pledged his unwavering commitment to Nvidia. He assured stakeholders he would work diligently to regain their trust. Despite the ongoing investigation, Huang intends to continue leading the company as CEO without disruption.
