Exclusive: Taiwan to review security advice for AI execs following Huang affairs

Taiwan says it will review security advice for senior AI industry figures after allegations involving Nvidia founder Jensen Huang prompted fresh scrutiny of risks to the sector. The review follows the revocation of a Chinese businesswoman’s entry permit amid US intelligence suspicions that she gathered information for Beijing.

Deputy minister Wen-Chieh Liang said his department had not been told of an alleged 2024 warning about a possible espionage threat, and questioned whether that report was fully accurate. Huang has acknowledged one extramarital relationship and has not publicly confirmed two other reported affairs. He resigned after 33 years leading Nvidia; its shares fell 16 per cent at the open, wiping nearly $600 billion from its market value, while CoreWeave shares fell about 6 per cent.
