Nvidia's board opened an independent investigation on Sunday, 8 November, after CEO Jensen Huang admitted an affair with a woman US officials suspect was recruited by China's intelligence service. The board says it has no reason to believe security or company secrets were compromised and keeps Huang in place.
Nvidia is the leading maker of AI chips, whose exports to China are tightly regulated by the US government for national security reasons. The case concerns whether a personal relationship of its chief executive created an intelligence risk, with Nvidia's board and US officials as the main parties.
