Nvidia CEO’s fling will be an affair to remember for AI, and for Trump
Jensen Huang’s liaison with an alleged Chinese spy could cost Nvidia billions, set America’s AI sector back in its arms race with China, and embroil the US president.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted on Sunday to having an affair with Alice Huang, an executive at an Nvidia customer who is alleged to be a Chinese spy. Huang, who co-founded the chipmaker in 1993, stated there was "no excuse" for his actions. Following the revelation, Nvidia has launched an independent investigation to determine if the CEO was the target of a foreign intelligence effort.
The Nvidia board stated that while they have no reason to believe Nvidia secrets or national security were compromised, the inquiry will examine all available information. According to Guardian Technology, the affair could cost Nvidia billions, impact the American AI sector's competition with China, and involve the US president.
