Nvidia board probes Jensen Huang over alleged spy-linked affair

Nvidia has opened an independent board investigation after Chief Executive Jensen Huang acknowledged an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based customer Megaspeed International whom US authorities suspect was tied to a Chinese spy agency. Huang said in a memo to employees that he had been unfaithful and apologized to his family. Nvidia said a committee of independent directors, working with outside counsel, will examine reports that the CEO was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort. Huang will remain CEO while the review proceeds. The episode lands at a sensitive moment for the chipmaker and the broader AI sector, where Nvidia plays a central role in funding and supplying data-center buildouts.
