Nvidia is launching an independent investigation into reports that founder and CEO Jensen Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort. A committee of independent directors, assisted by outside counsel, will oversee the inquiry. While the board stated it has no reason to believe NVIDIA secrets or national security were compromised, it will examine all available information, according to Gulf News.
The Korea Times reported the probe follows allegations that Huang had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who passed information to Beijing.
In an internal message to employees, Huang admitted to being unfaithful to his wife and acknowledged his personal wrongdoing. He stated that his actions hurt his wife and children and that there is no excuse for what he did, according to Fox News. NDTV reported that Huang expressed a need to apologize to his family and all employees and noted he would extend cooperation to the investigation.
The Korea Times noted that The New York Times previously reported Huang had a relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive of the Singapore-based company Megaspeed. US authorities reportedly investigated and concluded she was a Chinese intelligence asset. Megaspeed, a purchaser of Nvidia AI chips, has been scrutinized over suspicions of helping Beijing access advanced technology barred from shipment to China.
