Following reports of Nvidia's chief Jensen Huang becoming involved with a Chinese spy, Huang offered an apology for cheating on his wife. Meanwhile, the US tech company pledged to investigate the alleged espionage. US tech giant Nvidia said on Sunday it would investigate claims that its CEO Jensen Huang was targeted by "foreign intelligence efforts." Multiple media outlets, including The Financial Times , recently reported on American intelligence sharing information on Huang's extramarital affair with a Chinese woman.

The woman, according to US intelligence sources, had been recruited by China 's Ministry of State Security. The reports identified her as Alice Huang, an executive for Singapore-based company Megaspeed. The US is investigating the company over suspicions that it was helping Beijing bypass export restrictions and obtain cutting-edge AI chips .

According to The New York Times , the company has bought Nvidia chips worth billions of dollars in the last two years. "My actions hurt her and our children," Jensen Huang wrote in an email sent to Nvidia staff.
