00:02NVIDIA pushed back Thursday on a New York Times report that U.S. intelligence agencies surveilled
00:08a woman close to CEO Jensen Huang over concerns she could be a Chinese intelligence asset,
00:14according to CNBC. The report identified Alice Huang, who is linked to Singapore-based cloud
00:20company Megaspeed, as a potential spy helping China obtain information from NVIDIA.
00:25Intelligence officials also worried about Jensen Huang's access to President Trump.
00:31An NVIDIA spokesperson said Megaspeed is a regional cloud customer and that Jensen Huang
00:36routinely interacts with thousands of customers annually. The company added that customers do
00:41not have access to NVIDIA trade secrets or national security information. NVIDIA said allegations that
00:48Megaspeed evaded U.S. export controls were investigated and debunked last year. The company also indicated
00:55that the U.S. government had not notified it of any concerns about Alice Huang.
