Chip Giant: Nvidia Boss Had Affair with Possible Spy
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is the face of the AI boom. His affair with a woman who may have been a Chinese spy contains political explosives.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to having an affair with a woman who US security agencies believe may have been recruited by Chinese intelligence. The company has launched an investigation, but its board says it has no reason to believe that Nvidia's business secrets or US national security have been compromised. Huang, a close ally of US President Donald Trump, has been a leading figure in the development of artificial intelligence, with Nvidia's chips playing a key role in the field.
Trump has expressed support for Huang, saying he is a "fine person" who has done a lot for the country. The affair was first reported by the Financial Times, and Huang has since apologized to his family and Nvidia employees.
