Nvidia is investigating the company chief's affair with a possible Chinese spy.
The largest US chip maker, Nvidia, said it had launched an independent investigation into reports that its chief executive Jensen Huang (pictured) had a romantic relationship with a woman who allegedly worked for Chinese intelligence agencies.
Currently, the board has no reason to suspect a leak of classified information or speak of a threat to US national security; Huang plans to continue to lead the company, Nvidia said.
In the memo, Jensen Huang said he was "deeply sorry" for cheating on his wife:.
"My actions hurt her and our children. There is no justification for what I did. I hope that our family will recover from what happened and in time I will be able to restore trust."
Earlier, the New York Times reported on Huang's affair with a woman whom US intelligence services consider a possible informant for China's intelligence services. According to journalists, the head of Nvidia entered into a romantic relationship with her name Alice Huang, the head of the Singapore company Mega Speed, which manages data centers and buys chips from Nvidia.
China has denied the spying allegations. Nvidia is of strategic importance to the United States and is considered one of the world leaders in the field of artificial intelligence.
