Nvidia board weighs Jensen Huang’s future as reports emerge of second affair
What happened
Nvidia's board has opened an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang after reports tied him to Alice Huang, a businesswoman US intelligence reportedly suspects of working for Chinese intelligence.
Jensen Huang acknowledged the relationship in a memo to staff and apologised, according to Yahoo Finance; the two are not related despite the shared surname.
The New York Times reported that a classified US intelligence report linked Alice Huang to China's Ministry of State Security and said she sought to influence the distribution of Nvidia's advanced chips in China.
President Donald Trump said Monday that the FBI is investigating; he added that Huang told him he did not know she was a spy. No one has been charged.
Nvidia said it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised, and China's foreign ministry called the spy claims groundless slander.
Alice Huang was a director at Singapore-based Megaspeed, which faces US scrutiny over alleged routing of restricted Nvidia chips to China; Megaspeed says US authorities found no evidence of violations.
