00:00The boss of graphics card and AI giant NVIDIA has admitted to an extramarital affair amid
00:06allegations he was targeted by a suspected Chinese spy. Founder and CEO Jensen Huang
00:12apologised to his family and employees after reports linked him to Alice Huang,
00:18a former executive at Singapore-based technology company Megaspeed.
00:22US authorities have reportedly investigated the businesswoman over suspicions she passed
00:27information to Beijing. I have not spoken to him about it. I just know he's a fine person but you
00:33never know what is going on. I'm sure I hope everything's fine. Originally known for its
00:40graphics cards powering gaming PCs and professional workstations, NVIDIA has become the world's most
00:46valuable company amid an AI boom that has driven enormous demand for its chips, contributing to
00:52soaring prices and supply pressures. Megaspeed, which purchases billions of dollars worth of
00:58NVIDIA's AI chips, has also faced scrutiny over concerns about restricted technology reaching China.
01:05The company stressed there was no current reason to believe national security or corporate secrets
01:11had been compromised. Huang will remain CEO while the investigation continues.
