Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits affair with possible Chinese asset
Admits to affair after company board opens probe into alleged contact with possible Chinese asset who bought GPUs in bulk
Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, has admitted to an affair, prompting the board to launch an investigation. The board claims this came after recent reporting that Huang was a target of a foreign intelligence effort. A New York Times report alleges that Huang had a romantic relationship with a woman, identified as Alice Huang or Huang Le, believed to be a Chinese spy.
The Times described the CEO's association with this individual as a "close relationship." Huang's company, Nvidia, is a major AI hardware producer, and the alleged relationship raises serious concerns. Despite the board's assurance that Huang and Alice Huang only had normal CEO-to-customer conversations, the CEO apologized for his actions, asserting his full commitment to the company, his staff, and the United States.
The CEO's email made no mention of any "close relationship," leaving the specifics of the affair and Nvidia's connection to Singapore unclear.
