00:01U.S. tech giant NVIDIA is opening a probe into its CEO Jensen Huang after reports that Huang
00:09was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, the company's board said on Sunday.
00:15A report by the New York Times said that the CEO had admitted that he had been unfaithful
00:20with a business executive who, according to U.S. intelligence, was gathering information
00:26for China. In a letter addressed to NVIDIA employees, Huang admitted to having been
00:32unfaithful to his wife and apologized to his family and colleagues. The company's board said it had
00:39no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA's secrets had been compromised but that
00:45they would hold a thorough investigation. The board added that Huang fully supports the review and has
00:51committed to cooperating with it. U.S. intelligence officials believe that Alice Huang, who is a
00:57Chinese top executive at Megaspeed and who had a close relationship with Huang, was a spy for Beijing,
01:04the New York Times reported. NVIDIA is one of the global leaders in the development of artificial
01:10intelligence. Its chips power many of the data centers and computing systems used to train and
