Nvidia board and U.S. authorities investigate CEO Jensen Huang over foreign espionage risks

Nvidia has launched an independent internal review into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang following disclosures regarding a past extramarital relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed. U.S. intelligence agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are evaluating potential foreign espionage risks, investigating whether Alice Huang acted on behalf of Chinese intelligence to gather information from the executive.

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the FBI's involvement, stating that Jensen Huang denied knowing about any foreign intelligence links during a private conversation. In a message to employees, Huang admitted to personal infidelity without naming the individual involved. Nvidia stated that its initial assessments found no evidence that proprietary technological data or classified national security information was compromised.
