How Nvidia came to investigate its CEO's affair with suspected Chinese spy
The chief executive of the world's most valuable company, and a close ally of Donald Trump, admitted to an affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. Here's what we know.
Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, has admitted to having an affair with Alice Huang, a Chinese citizen and executive at Megaspeed, according to reports. Alice Huang is suspected of being a Chinese spy working for the Ministry of State Security. Nvidia's board launched an independent investigation after the affair was reported by The New York Times.
The investigation aims to determine if Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort. Huang, who co-founded Nvidia in 1993, is a close ally of US President Donald Trump and a leading figure in the US AI industry. He previously lobbied Trump to lift a ban on advanced AI chips to China, arguing that restrictions accelerated Beijing's development of the technology.
Despite the allegations, Huang remains committed to leading Nvidia as CEO and cooperating with the investigation.
