Nvidia: No Spies Here

The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence agencies investigated Nvidia because someone close to CEO Jensen Huang may have potentially been a spy for China.

Report: Nvidia’s CEO may have been targeted in a Chinese spy plot. According to the New York Times, Nvidia chief Jensen Huang had a “close relationship” with an executive at a Singapore-based cloud company who US intelligence agencies believed was a Chinese asset. The woman, Alice Huang, was reportedly already suspected of helping China circumvent constraints on accessing AI chips from the US. Nvidia said its CEO’s interactions with the woman were not unusual, and that allegations that the cloud company was helping China evade US export controls were “investigated and debunked.” President Trump was briefed on the matter about a year ago and decided not to take any action, the NYT reported.—AE
