Nvidia has launched an independent investigation following reports of a possible Chinese espionage operation against company CEO Jensen Huang, Reuters reports. According to media reports, US intelligence suspected businesswoman Alice Huang, with whom the Nvidia executive had a close relationship, as working for Beijing.
Alice Huang held a senior position at Singapore's Mega Speed, one of Nvidia's largest chip buyers. Jensen Huang himself admitted that he had an extramarital affair with her and publicly apologized to the family.
Nvidia's board said it still saw no evidence of a leak of trade secrets or a threat to US national security. Huang will continue to lead the company and cooperate with the investigation.
