Nvidia said it is initiating an independent investigation following reports that founder and CEO Jensen Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort. The company’s board said it has no reason to believe that U.S. national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, but the inquiry will examine all available information. Huang supports the review and has committed to cooperating, the board said. Top Republican lawmakers in the U.S. House have called on Huang to brief Congress this month about a New York Times report in October alleging he had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who passed information to Beijing. Axios reported on Sunday, citing a draft email to employees, that Huang admitted to a romantic relationship with a woman suspected of spying for China and took full responsibility. In the draft, Huang said he had been unfaithful to his wife and that his actions hurt her and their children. Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Axios report. The Times also reported on Friday that a memo circulated among top Trump administration policymakers last spring, citing intelligence that the woman was a spy for China’s Ministry of State Security. Despite those concerns, Huang and his wife, Lori Huang, were invited to a White House state dinner for China’s president, Xi Jinping, in September and seated at the top table with Donald Trump and Xi. https://sansasyonelgazete.com/en/nvidia-opens-investigation-after-report-ceo-jensen-huang-was-target-of-foreign-intelligence-32784
