Nvidia opens board probe into Jensen Huang over alleged China spy tie

Nvidia has opened an independent board investigation into CEO Jensen Huang after reports tied him to Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman US intelligence agencies concluded was working for Beijing. Huang told employees on Nov. 8 that he had been unfaithful to his wife and would cooperate with the review. Nvidia said a committee of independent directors, working with outside counsel, will examine the matter, but added it has no reason at this stage to believe national security or company secrets were breached. The allegations also draw attention to Megaspeed, a Singapore-based company that buys Nvidia AI chips and has faced US scrutiny over suspected access for China to restricted advanced semiconductors.
