NEW YORK, Nov 9 — Chips made by US chip titan Nvidia push the boundaries of artificial intelligence, but its leader Jensen Huang is in the spotlight over an affair with an alleged Chinese spy.
Unknown to the public just four years ago, the 63-year-old is a powerful entrepreneur, drawing stadium crowds as he presents cutting-edge components essential to the development of AI tools like ChatGPT.
Media reports last week said US intelligence officials believe Huang grew close to a Chinese executive who was funnelling information to Beijing.
Nvidia’s board said yesterday it had opened a probe into the CEO and co-founder, who acknowledged having been unfaithful to his wife and said he was “deeply sorry.”
