Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits affair, company investigates spy claim
Nvidia chief Jensen Huang has admitted to having an extramarital affair as his company announced it will investigate reports he was the “target of a foreign intelligence effort.”
The separate statements come amid growing concern over Huang’s close relationship with an executive from Singapore-based tech company Megaspeed, Alice Huang. Several US outlets have reported that American officials suspect Alice Huang, no relation, has fed intelligence to China and helped smuggle advanced artificial intelligence chips into the country.
CNN’s Will Ripley has the details and technology journalist Jacob Ward says the scandal is putting Nvidia’s board of directors in “an impossible position.” Also, Sen Chris Coons (D-DE) comments on possible implications to American national security and CNN tech reporter Clare Duffy reports on the market reaction.
