Nvidia opens board probe into CEO Jensen Huang over spy report

Nvidia has opened an independent board investigation into whether CEO Jensen Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort, after recent media reporting raised concerns about his personal relationship with a Chinese businesswoman. The company said a committee of independent directors, assisted by outside counsel, will oversee the review. Nvidia said it has no reason to believe US national security or company secrets were compromised, but will examine all available information. Huang told employees he takes full responsibility for his actions and will cooperate with the inquiry. The probe lands as Nvidia faces broader investor anxiety over AI demand and a sharp tech sell-off that has erased the company’s 2026 share gains.
