Nvidia Faces Investigation Over Alleged China Spy Links
US intelligence reports have identified Megaspeed executive Alice Huang as an alleged spy for China’s Ministry of State Security, according to recent reporting. The claims have drawn attention to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who has acknowledged an affair with Alice Huang, and prompted an investigation by his company.
Alice Huang, who is not related to Jensen Huang, is an executive at Megaspeed, an AI compute company that rents access to Nvidia GPUs. The reports said US intelligence had identified her as a spy since last year. Nvidia and Jensen Huang have said they have “no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised.” The investigation is continuing.
The allegations come as Nvidia has taken on a prominent role in the Trump administration’s AI push and in negotiations over potential Chinese access to advanced AI hardware. The company, whose market capitalization now exceeds $4 trillion, has also financed other AI businesses, including “neoclouds” such as Coreweave, among its biggest customers.
