  "summary": "Nvidia's board of directors announced on Sunday that it is launching an independent investigation into whether founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort. According to Gulf News, a committee of independent directors and outside counsel will oversee the inquiry. While the board stated it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised, it expressed that U.S. national and economic security is paramount to the interests of the company and its shareholders.\n\nKBS World Radio reports that Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a businesswoman suspected of working as a spy for the Chinese government. NDTV reports that Huang acknowledged to the board that he had been intimate with a business executive whom U.S. intelligence determined was gathering information for China. In an internal message to employees, Huang apologized for being unfaithful to his wife and taking responsibility for his actions, according to The Korea Times.\n\nThe Korea Times notes that the New York Times reported last month that Alice Huang, a former executive at the Singapore-based company Megaspeed, was investigated by U.S. authorities and concluded to be a Chinese intelligence asset. Megaspeed buys AI chips from Nvidia and has faced scrutiny over suspicions it helped Beijing access advanced AI chips barred from shipment to China. Nvidia stated that Huang is committed to continuing to lead the company without interruption.",
