California, USA, November 9, 2026 — Nvidia has launched an independent investigation into its chief executive Jensen Huang following reports that he had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman suspected by US intelligence agencies of working for Beijing.
The investigation follows media reports identifying the businesswoman as Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, who is reportedly associated with Singapore-based data centre company Megaspeed. She is not related to Jensen Huang.
According to The New York Times, US intelligence agencies had monitored communications between Alice Huang and an American citizen, later identified as Jensen Huang. Intelligence officials reportedly suspected that Alice was working on behalf of the Chinese government. However, the specific information she allegedly provided to Beijing and the period during which the suspected activities took place remain unclear.
Meanwhile, Jensen Huang has acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife and issued a public apology to his family and colleagues.
"I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry," he said.
He also accepted responsibility for his conduct, acknowledging that he had fallen short of his obligations to Nvidia employees, the company's board of directors and shareholders.
LG Electronics and Nvidia signed an August 13, 2026 MOU to expand AI robotics and autonomous vehicle collaboration, including a humanoid robot planned for unveiling in early 2027.

Board says no evidence of information leakage
Nvidia's board of directors announced that it had initiated an independent investigation following reports that Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence operation.
The inquiry will be overseen by a committee of independent directors with assistance from external legal counsel.
The board said it currently had no reason to believe that US national security or Nvidia's confidential information had been compromised. However, it would examine all available information as part of the investigation.
Huang has pledged full cooperation with the inquiry and reaffirmed his commitment to protecting Nvidia and supporting US national security.
US President Donald Trump said he had not discussed the allegations with Huang. However, he described the Nvidia chief as an honourable person and praised his contributions to the United States.
Meanwhile, three Republican committee chairmen in the US House of Representatives have written to Huang seeking information about Nvidia's security arrangements and measures to protect American technology from foreign espionage.
US intelligence reportedly monitored Alice Huang
Alice Huang is reportedly associated with Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data centre company that has business ties with Nvidia.
According to The New York Times, US intelligence agencies suspected that she was gathering information for the Chinese government. Reports have also raised questions about whether her relationship with Jensen Huang could have exposed sensitive corporate or national security information.
However, the nature of the information allegedly passed to China and the timeline of the suspected intelligence activities have not been established publicly.
China has rejected allegations of espionage involving Alice Huang, describing them as baseless speculation.
Nvidia chief at the centre of a major technology dispute
Jensen Huang has led Nvidia for more than three decades and played a central role in transforming the company into a major supplier of processors used in artificial intelligence development.
Nvidia chips are widely used by technology companies, including OpenAI and Meta, making the company a major player in the global AI industry.
Its advanced AI processors have also become a significant issue in the technology rivalry between the United States and China. Washington has imposed restrictions on exports of advanced chips to limit China's access to sensitive technologies.
The investigation into Huang's reported relationship with Alice Huang has therefore drawn attention to corporate security and the broader implications for US national security and the global semiconductor industry.
