Nvidia CEO's reported affair with suspected spy stuns Taiwan fans
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces investigations by the company's board and the FBI over an affair with a woman who may have been a Chinese spy, shocking fans in his birthplace Taiwan where he holds celebrity status. The probe could impact the AI industry's most prominent advocate. Huang, born in Tainan and raised in the U.S., is treated like a rock star during Taiwan visits, with media dubbing the frenzy "Jensanity." Local business owners he frequents, including a market vendor and his barber, expressed disbelief and sympathy, saying they pray for him during this difficult period. Taiwan's government has declined to comment on the espionage aspect, citing lack of evidence and authority. An academic noted Huang's acknowledgment of the affair was positive, adding that people should be judged comprehensively, as nobody is without flaws.
