  "account": "Tech leaders at the Web Summit in Lisbon on Tuesday expressed concerns over allegations of Chinese espionage targeting Nvidia, the dominant US artificial intelligence chipmaker. Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, admitted to an affair with a woman suspected by US intelligence officials of spying for China – a claim Beijing dismissed. As a result, Nvidia's shares fell more than 5% on Wall Street. Analysts believe the short-term impact will include turbulence in stock price and management, but there may be opportunities for other players like Qualcomm, Google, and AMD. Chinese executives highlighted emerging alternatives to Nvidia's chips, citing US rivals and Chinese competitors as potential beneficiaries. The spying allegations could exacerbate tensions ahead of US President Donald Trump's visit to China and potentially lead to tighter controls on chip exports from the US to China.",
