AI chip giant Nvidia has launched an investigation into its founder and CEO Jensen Huang following reports of suspected espionage. He is said to have had an affair with a suspected Chinese spy.
The US company Nvidia has launched an investigation into reports that company boss Jensen Huang was the target of foreign espionage activities. In a letter, 63-year-old Huang admits to having had a romantic relationship with a Chinese woman. He was unfaithful to his wife and there was no excuse for that.
The media had already reported in the past few days that Huang was said to have had a relationship with a woman who, according to US security circles, was recruited by Chinese intelligence. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is said to have warned about the suspected spy in the spring when he was preparing a secret memo in advance of US President Donald Trump's trip to China.

Nvidia's board said it had no reason to believe that U.S. national security or company secrets were at risk. Nevertheless, the investigation will examine all available information. Huang has promised his cooperation.
According to the New York Times, the young woman assigned to Huang's life is named Alicia Huang - the identical last name is a coincidence. She was a senior manager at Singapore-based Megaspeed. In 2024, the two were photographed at an industry meeting in a bar in Taipei. At that time, Megaspeed began buying Nvidia chips for billions of dollars.
In recent years, Nvidia has become one of the leading suppliers of chips for the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The company is currently worth around $4.5 trillion on the stock market.
