Aisha Down and Dan Milmo Reports that the boss of a cornerstone company in the global AI boom has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort are a big deal, given Jensen Huang’s close relationship with the US president. Aside from Jensen Huang’s dented personal reputation after admitting to having an affair with Alice Huang – an alleged Chinese spy - what is the scale of the damage done to Nvidia and US national security? The story started to emerge last year when the New York Times and Bloomberg raised questions about a Singapore-based buyer of Nvidia’s powerful chips. There were concerns that Megaspeed was flouting US restrictions on AI chip exports to China by diverting some Nvidia inventory to America’s arch AI rival. Nvidia and Megaspeed denied this. Then last month came a further startling NYT report that Jensen Huang, a Megaspeed executive, had formed a “close relationship” with Ms Huang and that American officials believed she was a Chinese intelligence asset.
