Nvidia probes Jensen Huang over alleged China spy contact

Nvidia has opened an independent board investigation into CEO Jensen Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, a businesswoman U.S. intelligence agencies suspect of acting for China. In an email to staff, Huang said he had an affair with the woman and apologized to his family. Nvidia's board said it had no reason so far to believe national security or company secrets were compromised, but would review all available information. Alice Huang is linked to Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer and cloud company that has been accused of helping restricted Chinese companies obtain Nvidia AI chips. The inquiry lands as Nvidia faces growing pressure over exports to China and just before its Nov. 17 third-quarter earnings report.
