U.S. intelligence concluded that Alice Huang, a Chinese business executive who developed a close relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, was an asset of Beijing’s Ministry of State Security, the New York Times reported. Officials said Chinese intelligence recruited her to gather information on U.S. AI chips and potentially influence Nvidia, and she had ties with executives at major AI hardware firms, according to the reporting. Three Republican House committee chairs have asked Jensen Huang to give a closed-door briefing on November 18 about his reported ties to Alice Huang and Nvidia’s export-control and security procedures. Nvidia has stated its customers receive no sensitive information. The revelations prompted coverage from multiple outlets including Reuters and The Verge and triggered congressional scrutiny of Nvidia’s contacts with foreign executives.
