Nvidia's board has launched an investigation into whether CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort. According to The Korea Times, the probe began following a report from the New York Times suggesting Huang maintained a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman whom U.S. intelligence officials believe passed information to the Chinese government. Punch Nigeria identifies this executive as Alice Huang.
The investigation comes as Jensen Huang, a close ally of President Donald Trump, has been a regular presence in Washington while Nvidia has sought to sell advanced chips to the Chinese market. These chips are considered central to the U.S. AI boom, and government officials have previously implemented export controls to restrict China's access to them. Following the news, Nvidia shares reached a seven-month low on Monday.
