Американська компанія Nvidia розпочала незалежне розслідування щодо можливих зв’язків свого співзасновника й гендиректора Дженсена Хуанга з бізнесвумен, яку спецслужби підозрюють у шпигунстві на користь Китаю. — Укрінформ.
According to Ukrinform, citing CNBC, US intelligence agencies expressed concern that Alice Huang (the namesake of the CEO), associated with the cloud company Megaspeed, which is a client of Nvidia, could transmit information to Beijing.
On Sunday, Jensen Huang told company employees in an email that he had an affair with the woman, and Nvidia's board of directors launched an independent investigation into the espionage allegations.
My actions hurt her and our children. I deeply regret it, ”he pointed out.
The company's board of directors said it would check information about a possible foreign intelligence effort to influence Huang.
Washington is restricting exports of Nvidia's most powerful artificial intelligence chips to China, although it has allowed the supply of some older and less productive models.
As Ukrinform reported, the United States warned the German Federal Intelligence Service about a possible review of cooperation after the detention of former German intelligence chief August Hanning on suspicion of espionage.
Nvidia said Huang intends to continue as CEO.
