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 to having an affair with Alice Huang, an executive at an Nvidia customer. According to Guardian Technology, Ms. Huang is alleged to have been working for Beijing as a Chinese spy. Huang, who is 63, stated there was "no excuse" for his actions following footage emerging of their interactions at a Taipei venue last year.
Nvidia has launched an independent investigation into reports that its chief executive was the target of a foreign intelligence effort. The company's board stated that while they have no reason to believe Nvidia secrets or national security were compromised, the inquiry will examine all available information.
The situation could potentially cost Nvidia billions and impact the United States' AI sector as it competes with China. The liaison may also embroil the US president.
