Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to having an extramarital affair, as his company announced it would investigate allegations that he was targeted as part of “foreign intelligence efforts” backed by China.
The two separate announcements come amid growing concerns about Huang’s close relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based tech company Megaspeed. Several U.S. media outlets reported that American officials suspect Alice Huang, who is not related to him, of leaking intelligence to China and helping smuggle advanced AI chips into the country.
The case could cast a shadow over confidence in the world’s second-most valuable company, one of the most prominent faces of the AI boom, at a time when the United States and China are racing to gain technological supremacy over one another.
