## Key points

- Nvidia is investigating claims its CEO was targeted by foreign intelligence.
- The board says it has no evidence secrets or national security were compromised.
- US lawmakers have asked Huang to brief Congress this month.

## Summary

Nvidia’s board has opened an independent investigation into reports that chief executive Jensen Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort linked to a personal relationship. The company says it has no reason to believe US national security or Nvidia’s secrets were compromised, but the inquiry adds scrutiny of its leadership and business with China as investors already question the sustainability of the AI market.

The reports concerned Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, which US authorities have scrutinised over suspicions it helped Beijing access advanced Nvidia chips restricted from shipment to China; the two Huangs are not related. Jensen Huang admitted being unfaithful to his wife, apologised to his family and colleagues, and pledged to co-operate with the board’s review. Republican lawmakers have asked him to brief Congress this month, while Nvidia shares have surrendered their gains for the year amid a broader technology sell-off.
