Nvidia Probes Whether CEO Jensen Huang Was Targeted by Suspected Chinese Spy

Nvidia is investigating whether CEO Jensen Huang was targeted by a suspected Chinese spy, Alice Huang, during a personal relationship, raising concerns about potential intelligence gathering. Experts believe private conversations could have revealed sensitive information about the company's strategy and US policy. Alice, a former executive at Nvidia customer Megaspeed, could have learned about future product plans, internal decisions, and Huang's views on US export restrictions on advanced chips to China. Her access to Huang's insights on the Trump administration's AI and trade policies could help Beijing position itself strategically. Nvidia's board has launched an independent probe, stating it has no reason to believe national security or trade secrets were compromised. Huang has apologized to employees and pledged cooperation, while experts question why intelligence agencies did not intervene given his prominent role in US-China tech competition.
