Nvidia opens board probe after Jensen Huang admits affair

Nvidia has opened an independent board investigation after Chief Executive Jensen Huang told employees he had been unfaithful and apologized to his family. The company said a committee of independent directors, working with outside counsel, will review reports that Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort. US officials have identified the woman as Alice Huang, a former executive linked to Singapore-based Megaspeed International, which has also faced scrutiny over suspected efforts to help Chinese tech firms bypass US export controls on advanced AI chips. Huang will remain CEO while the probe proceeds. The controversy hit a company central to the AI boom, and a blockchain contract tied to Nvidia shares fell about 2.9% after the disclosure.
