## Summary

Nvidia has hired the US law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to investigate its chief executive Jensen Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang, who is alleged to be a Chinese spy. The company says the inquiry will be thorough and independent, while the FBI is conducting a separate investigation. The case matters because Nvidia’s chips are central to the AI industry and have become a US national security concern.

Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, is not related to Jensen Huang and was an executive at Megaspeed, a Nvidia customer previously suspected of helping divert chips to China; Nvidia says it investigated and dismissed that concern. Nvidia’s board says it has no reason to believe company secrets or national security were compromised. The affair has drawn scrutiny from US officials and congressional leaders, while Nvidia shares have lost about $500bn in market value since Friday.
