  "account": "New York – Nvidia, a leading US chipmaker in the AI boom, has launched an investigation into reports of foreign espionage targeting its CEO, Jensen Huang. The probe will be conducted by board members and external investigators, according to the company. Recent media reports suggested Huang had a romantic relationship with a woman rumored to have been recruited by China's intelligence services. Huang confirmed in an email to Nvidia employees that he had an affair, expressing regret for betraying his family and employees. The \"Financial Times\" had previously reported on the relationship. Initially, Nvidia maintained the contacts were routine interactions with a representative of a Nvidia customer company. The company, which designs chips for AI training and operations in data centers, has cultivated a close relationship with former US President Donald Trump over the past few years.",
