FBI probes Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair with alleged Chinese agent

thehindu.com [$] —

President Donald Trump said Monday that the FBI is investigating Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair with an alleged Chinese agent, though he expressed confidence Huang will be fine. The case has raised concerns about China's access to advanced AI chips. Huang acknowledged the affair and apologized in an open letter, pledging full cooperation with the investigation. Nvidia announced an independent probe Sunday, and congressional Democrats are seeking briefings on national security implications. China denied the espionage allegations as unsubstantiated smears. The FBI counterintelligence investigation may take years and may not result in charges. Nvidia shares fell over 4% Monday. Huang has lobbied Trump for lighter AI regulation and looser chip export limits to China.
