Nvidia board launches inquiry into chief executive over espionage concerns

Nvidia’s board of directors has launched an independent internal investigation into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang following allegations regarding his extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed. U.S. intelligence agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are examining whether Alice Huang acted on behalf of Chinese intelligence services to gather sensitive data.

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the FBI's involvement, stating that Jensen Huang denied any knowledge of foreign espionage ties during a private meeting. In a message to Nvidia staff, Huang acknowledged personal marital infidelity without naming the individual involved. Nvidia stated that its initial internal reviews revealed no evidence that proprietary technology or classified U.S. national security data was compromised.
