Briefing by News4U · First published
Nvidia’s board of directors announced an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang after reports that he had a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, a Chinese citizen and former Megaspeed executive whom US authorities describe as a Chinese intelligence asset. Huang admitted in a memo to employees that he was unfaithful to his wife and apologized to his family and colleagues. The board said it has “no reason to believe” national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, but will examine all information; Huang will continue to lead the company and pledged full cooperation. US lawmakers from both parties have called for Huang to testify before Congress on November 18. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
