The board of directors of US technology giant Nvidia has launched an independent investigation into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang following allegations regarding his personal relationship with a suspected Chinese intelligence agent, the company announced.
The board stated there is no evidence to suggest that commercial secrets or US national security have been compromised, adding that Huang remains committed to maintaining his leadership role at the firm.
In a statement addressed to employees, Huang admitted to being unfaithful to his wife and expressed regret for the distress caused to his family, accepting full responsibility for his actions.
"There is no excuse for what I have done. I am deeply sorry," Huang said, acknowledging that he had fallen short of the standards expected by Nvidia employees, the board, and shareholders.
The development follows a report by The New York Times alleging that Huang engaged in a personal relationship with Alice Huang, a Singapore-based executive whom US intelligence officials suspect operated on behalf of Beijing.
Huang pledged full cooperation with the independent board inquiry to address national security and corporate governance concerns.
The investigation comes amid heightened technological and trade tensions between the United States and China over advanced semiconductor access, placing renewed scrutiny on executive governance and the protection of sensitive technology within the AI chip industry.
The final findings of the board's independent review remain pending.
