Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, has admitted to an extramarital relationship with a woman allegedly recruited by Chinese intelligence to spy on him. The relationship is now the subject of a U.S. investigation, with allegations that the woman, identified as Alice Huang, was tasked with pressuring Huang to advocate for relaxed U.S. export controls on semiconductors to China.
Nvidia's board of directors has launched an independent investigation to assess potential national security risks stemming from the relationship. Huang has stated he will fully cooperate with all inquiries into the matter. The revelations were first reported by Axios.
