Nvidia board opens independent probe into CEO Jensen Huang after admitted affair

Nvidia's board of directors has launched an independent probe into CEO Jensen Huang following his admission of an affair with an executive identified as a suspected Chinese spy.

Nvidia's board launched an independent investigation after CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an extramarital affair with Singapore-based executive Alice Huang.

US intelligence agencies concluded Alice Huang was acting on behalf of China's Ministry of State Security to gain access to restricted artificial intelligence chips.

The chipmaker stated there is currently no reason to believe national security or corporate trade secrets were compromised.

US President Donald Trump called Huang an 'honorable guy' and expressed hope that the situation would resolve positively.

Top US lawmakers have called on Jensen Huang to brief Congress regarding potential national security risks.
