Leather-jacketed Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang acknowledged an affair with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, prompting an investigation by his company and intense discussions around the world. Recent reports noted that as of last year, US intelligence reports had identified Alice Huang (no relation) not only as the executive of an AI computing company that rents access to Nvidia GPUs, but also as a spy for China’s Ministry of State Security.
In recent years, Nvidia has become a key part of the Trump administration’s AI push, a central figure in negotiations over possible Chinese access to next-generation AI hardware, and a company that has used its more than $4 trillion market capitalization to fund other AI companies, including “neo-clouds” like Coreweave, which have been some of its biggest customers. So far, Nvidia and Jensen Huang have said they have “no reason to believe that NVIDIA’s national security or secrets have been compromised,” but that hasn’t resolved things as the investigation continues.
