Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, admitted to having an extramarital affair with a suspected Chinese spy, leading to a significant drop in Nvidia's stock prices by 8%. The company’s board has launched an independent investigation, assisted by outside legal counsel, to look into allegations that Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. This comes after reports from The New York Times and Financial Times about the relationship between Huang and Alice Huan, who is an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed. President Trump publicly backed Huang, stating that he had no idea of the spy allegations against his partner. The affair has raised concerns over potential security breaches involving Nvidia's advanced AI technology.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has been one of the tech industry’s most important advocates for loosening restrictions on chip exports to China.
In late October, the New York Times reported that Huang had developed a “close relationship” with a Chinese businesswoman working for Megaspeed, a Singaporean computing infrastructure firm under investigation by the Department of Justice for possibly violating U.S. chip export controls.
