Nvidia Corp. said on Sunday it\u2019s launching an \u201cindependent investigation\u201d into reports that its founder and Chief Executive Jensen Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence plot, shortly after he admitted he \u201chad been intimate\u201d with a Singapore-based executive whom U.S. officials accuse of spying for China.
\nIn response to the allegations, the Republican-led foreign affairs and intelligence committee of the U.S. Congress has asked Huang (pictured, right) to testify this week at a closed-door briefing on the chipmaker\u2019s \u201csecurity protocols against foreign adversary espionage.\u201d The request came after the New York Times reported last month that the CEO had been targeted in a Chinese espionage operation.
\nThe accused spy is a woman called Alice Huang or Huang Le (left), of no relation to the Nvidia CEO. Alice Huang is the CEO of a Singapore-based data center company called Megaspeed. It had previously been suspected of smuggling Nvidia\u2019s high-end graphics processing units to China, prompting U.S. officials to begin monitoring her. Those officials have apparently determined that Alice Huang is an asset of the Chinese intelligence services, tasked with passing commercial secrets back to Beijing.
\nIn a statement earlier today, Nvidia\u2019s board of directors said that though it has no reason to believe that either U.S. national security or the company\u2019s secrets were compromised, its inquiry will examine all available information. \u201cThe Board prioritizes U.S. national and economic security, which is paramount to the interests of Nvidia and its shareholders,\u201d the statement said. \u201cThe Board has confidence in Jensen and his leadership team and will provide further updates as appropriate.\u201d
\nThe company added that Huang supports the investigation into what happened and has vowed to cooperate fully.
\nA report by Axios earlier today cited a draft email written by Huang to company employees, in which he admitted to having an illicit romantic relationship with Alice Huang and took full responsibility for his actions. \u201cI was unfaithful to my wife,\u201d Huang wrote. \u201cMy actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did.\u201d
\nU.S. intelligence chiefs will be concerned because Nvidia\u2019s powerful chips sit at the center of the artificial intelligence boom and give America a critical advantage over its geopolitical rivals. The company\u2019s dominance of AI computing means that Huang is one of the most influential people in the industry, and he has forged close ties with the Trump administration.
\nThe alleged spy reportedly tried to take advantage of Huang\u2019s close links to America\u2019s policymakers. Not only was she tasked with learning more about the company\u2019s secrets, but also persuading Huang to lobby for the company to be allowed to ship its most advanced processors to China.
\nIt\u2019s not clear how much influence she was able to exert on Huang, but last year he successfully petitioned the Trump administration to allow more GPUs to be exported to China. He later struck a deal to sell limited numbers of the company\u2019s second-most powerful chips to China.
\nSo far, nothing has been said of Huang potentially losing his job or being removed from the company, but Yorkville Ives analyst Dan Ives told Gizmodo that such an outcome is possible. \u201cThis will add risk to the stock as he is so important to the Nvidia story and strategy globally,\u201d the analyst said.
\nThe investigation follows a rough week for technology firms on Wall Street, which have weathered a selloff that began earlier this month and gained traction after a series of disappointing earnings results in recent days. So far this month, the tech-heavy Nasdaq index has lost almost $1 trillion in value.
\nNvidia\u2019s stock has fallen 21% over the last month and is now basically flat in the year to date. Its market capitalization sits at just over $4.5 trillion, down from its peak of just over $5.7 trillion in October.
