Nvidia Board Launches Independent Investigation Following Reports That Jensen Huang Became a Target of Foreign Intelligence Agencies

Odaily: The Nvidia board issued a statement on November 8 saying that, in light of recent reports that company founder and CEO Jensen Huang became the target of an intelligence operation by a foreign intelligence agency, the board has decided to launch an independent investigation. The investigation will be led by a committee composed of independent directors and assisted by outside independent legal counsel. The board said there is currently no reason to believe that U.S. national security or Nvidia confidential information has been compromised, but the investigation will review all available information. Jensen Huang has expressed support for the review and committed to cooperating with the investigation.

In addition, according to Axios, Jensen Huang acknowledged in an email sent to company employees on Sunday that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologized to her, his family, and company employees. Jensen Huang said he takes full responsibility for the relevant conduct and hopes to regain his family's trust in the future. Meanwhile, John Rizzo, Nvidia's head of public policy communications, said the matter will not affect company operations, and Jensen Huang will continue to serve as CEO and lead the company as normal.
