Nvidia is investigating Jensen Huang’s relationship with a Chinese spy

The Verge
Nvidia's board has opened an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang's relationship with an executive reportedly recruited by China's spy agency.

Summary

Nvidia's board of directors has initiated an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at customer Megaspeed who was reportedly recruited by China's Ministry of State Security to spy on the company. The board stated it has no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, but will examine all available information, with Jensen Huang fully cooperating. The New York Times reported last month that Jensen Huang developed a close, later-admitted romantic relationship with Alice Huang, and US officials believe she was feeding information directly back to Beijing. Megaspeed is also under a Commerce Department investigation over whether it smuggled AI chips to China. Concerns extend to Jensen Huang's cozy relationship with President Trump and whether insights into the administration's AI deliberations may have reached Beijing.
