Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to being involved with a Chinese businesswoman who is suspected to be a spy. Experts are suggesting that Huang should have been more vigilant about the potential vulnerability he faced. Political science experts and former officials state that the intense competition and investment in artificial intelligence between the US and China makes the tech executive a prime target.
Craig Albert, director of national defence studies at Augusta University, explains that such tactics are commonly employed by China against US leaders, both online and in person. Meanwhile, China's Foreign Ministry continues to deny any wrongdoing in the matter. The controversy has prompted the US House of Representatives select committee on the Chinese Communist Party to request an appearance from Huang to discuss his interactions with the alleged spy on November 18.
