(CTI/AFP pic)WASHINGTON: Nvidia chief Jensen Huang, whose chips power the global AI boom and who has the ear of President Donald Trump, has admitted to an affair with a Chinese executive who US intelligence reportedly believes was working for Beijing.

Huang, 63, acknowledged the relationship Sunday in a message to Nvidia employees.

"I was unfaithful to my wife," he wrote. "My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry."

His admission followed reports in The New York Times that US intelligence officials had concluded the woman, Alice Huang, was passing information to China. She is not related to the Nvidia chief.
