Nvidia CEO admits affair with suspected spy; company launches probe

independent.co.uk —

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a woman suspected by US intelligence of spying for China, and the company has opened an independent investigation into the matter. The 63-year-old billionaire apologized for being unfaithful to his wife Lori and said he takes "full responsibility." Nvidia reportedly sold nearly $5 billion in AI chips to Megaspeed, the Singapore firm where Alice Huang previously worked as managing director. Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, is a former Megaspeed executive and is no relation to the CEO. China has denied the spy claims, calling them "groundless smears." The scandal unfolds amid US-China rivalry over AI development, with Nvidia now valued at around $4.5 trillion.
