Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits affair with suspected Chinese spy
Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang has admitted having an affair with suspected Chinese spy Alice Huang, prompting an independent inquiry by the US technology giant.
Jensen Huang, the chief executive and co-founder of microchip giant Nvidia, has admitted to having an extramarital affair with a suspected Chinese spy. According to a report by The New York Times, US intelligence officials believe that Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang was recruited by Beijing's top espionage agency.
Huang apologised to his wife and children for being unfaithful. In response, Nvidia launched an independent investigation into the matter, although the board stated that it does not believe US national security was compromised and confirmed Huang remains committed to leading the company.
Alice Huang previously served as a senior executive at Singapore-based firm Megaspeed, which is currently investigated by Singaporean authorities for allegedly circumventing US export sanctions on advanced Nvidia artificial intelligence chips. Surveillance intercepted communications between Alice Huang and Jensen Huang, though her current whereabouts remain unknown.
