US authorities reportedly suspect that she was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to gather information about the Nvidia chief and the company.The allegations have also drawn scrutiny to Megaspeed, which buys Nvidia’s AI chips and has been investigated over suspicions that it helped Beijing gain access to advanced processors restricted from export to China.Huang recently admitted in a message to Nvidia employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologised to his family and colleagues, without naming the woman involved.

Nvidia’s board said it had no reason to believe that US national security or the company’s secrets had been compromised, but would examine all available information. Huang has backed the investigation and agreed to cooperate.
