TOKYO, Nov 10 — Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to having an affair, reportedly with a Chinese executive at a Singapore-based company that the US suspects of smuggling AI microchips into China.
The scandal has focused attention on how China, a major artificial-intelligence power in itself, obtains the cutting-edge chips despite US export restrictions.
Nvidia designs advanced components originally created to handle 3D visuals in video games, called Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).
These have the power to crunch colossal amounts of digital data, so are also used at scale to train and run artificial intelligence.
