Chip-Riese: Nvidia-Chef hatte Affäre mit möglicher Spionin

A scandal has rocked the tech industry: Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, has admitted to an affair with a woman who may have been a Chinese spy. The company, whose chips are key to the AI boom, launched an investigation after initial denials. Huang had previously denied any wrongdoing, but later admitted his guilt in an email to Nvidia employees.

He expressed regret for betraying his family and employees, stating he loved them. Huang, a leading figure in the AI revolution, has a close relationship with US President Donald Trump, even shaking hands with him on stage during his recent visit to China. Despite Huang's admission, US President Trump defended him, stating, "I just know that he's a fine man."

Trump believes Huang has likely apologized and will be cleared by the end of the investigation. However, the scandal has raised concerns about potential national security breaches and the possibility of sensitive information being passed from China to the US government.
