黄仁勋与中国间谍发生婚外情,英伟达展开调查

董事会称无证据表明国家安全或商业机密受损,黄仁勋将在调查期间继续领导公司

Quick Look

英伟达周日宣布对首席执行官兼联合创始人黄仁勋展开调查,原因是他承认与一名被美国情报部门认定为中国间谍的企业高管黄乐发生亲密关系。董事会表示暂无证据表明国家安全或商业机密受损,黄仁勋将在调查期间继续领导公司。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

英伟达是全球领先的人工智能芯片公司,黄仁勋是其联合创始人兼CEO。Megaspeed是一家总部位于新加坡的数据中心公司,曾是英伟达在东南亚最大的客户之一,自2024年6月以来购买了价值超过48亿美元的芯片。美国商务部去年曾调查Megaspeed是否协助中国走私受出口限制的人工智能芯片。

英伟达周日表示,已对公司首席执行官兼联合创始人黄仁勋展开调查。此前,黄仁勋向公司董事会承认,他曾与一名企业高管发生亲密关系,而美国情报部门认定,该女子是中国间谍。

这名女子名叫黄乐(音,其英文名为Alice Huang)。美国政府的监控发现,她一直直接向北京提供情报,此后,黄仁勋与她的关系引起了美国政府的关注。这一发现引发了令人不安的种种可能性,因为黄仁勋不仅是人工智能革命中最有影响力的人物之一,也是特朗普总统的重要盟友。

黄仁勋在给公司的情况说明中道歉说:“我对妻子不忠。我的行为伤害了她和我们的孩子。我的所作所为没有任何借口。我深感抱歉。”

英伟达董事会表示,“没有理由认为国家安全或英伟达的商业机密受到了损害”,但“董事会的调查将审查所有可获得的信息”。董事会表示,黄仁勋“完全支持此次审查,并承诺予以配合”。董事会没有透露调查的更多细节,也没有说明调查将持续多长时间。

董事会表示,63岁的黄仁勋将在调查期间继续领导公司。作为联合创始人,他在英伟达建立了一套独特的管理架构,掌控公司业务的方方面面,并直接管理约60名向他汇报的员工。

“今天的新闻不会拖慢英伟达的步伐,”公司发言人约翰·里佐说。“黄仁勋将继续不受干扰地履行首席执行官职责,领导英伟达。”

《纽约时报》上个月报道,美国情报机构发现,黄仁勋与一名中国公民建立了密切关系。此人从事芯片采购业务,美国官员认定她正在为北京搜集情报。

这名芯片采购商就是黄乐。据她的个人履历介绍,她曾在中国担任电视记者,之后成为一家总部位于新加坡的数据中心公司的高管。这家公司后来成为英伟达在东南亚最大的客户之一,自2024年6月以来购买了价值超过48亿美元的芯片。

这家公司名为Megaspeed。去年,《纽约时报》曾报道,美国商务部正在调查Megaspeed是否协助中国走私受到出口限制的人工智能芯片,但英伟达此后仍继续与该公司开展业务。

英伟达和黄仁勋最初坚称,他与黄乐的关系没有任何问题,也没有任何不寻常之处。上个月接受彭博新闻社采访时,黄仁勋表示,他与黄乐的往来“都与Megaspeed有关,完全正常,没有什么特别之处”。

这段关系和婚外情对黄仁勋来说是罕见的一次行差踏错。

过去三年里,黄仁勋可谓顺风顺水。他领导的芯片公司生产用于构建人工智能系统的关键技术,发展为全球市值最高的企业之一,也成为推动美国经济的数据中心建设热潮的核心力量。特朗普与他结为盟友,还邀请他乘坐“空军一号”总统专机。每逢出席活动,会有大批人群追着他索要签名。他每天穿着的黑色皮夹克也成了收藏者追捧的物品。

随着业务蓬勃发展,黄仁勋也让家人进入了公司的核心业务领域。他的儿子斯宾塞担任产品管理总监,在公司的机器人业务中发挥主导作用。女儿麦迪逊是产品营销高级总监,同样参与机器人业务,并负责公司的传播和营销工作。他的女婿尼科·卡普雷斯则在公司的业务拓展团队任职。

黄仁勋曾表示,自己创业成功离不开妻子洛丽的支持。两人于1985年结婚,最初相识时,黄仁勋还是俄勒冈州立大学一名十几岁的工程系学生。当时,在一个有250人的工程实验室里只有三名女生,洛丽就是其中之一。高中曾跳过两级的黄仁勋设法与她分到同一个实验小组,并试图用自己的聪明才智打动她。

“我知道我看起来像个孩子,所以她对我的第一印象是我很聪明,”2024年,黄仁勋在在香港科技大学谈起自己职业生涯时说。“我走到她面前说:‘你想看我的作业吗?’然后我向她承诺:‘如果你每周日都和我一起做作业,我保证,你肯定全拿A。’”

黄仁勋还向她承诺,到30岁时他会成为一家公司的首席执行官。1993年,他刚满30岁不久便联合创立了英伟达,兑现了这个承诺。

黄仁勋在播客“我是如何打造这一切的”中说:“洛丽照顾一切事情,我不记得她曾抱怨过一次。这是她送给我的礼物。”

美国政府一直在调查Megaspeed是否可能将英伟达先进人工智能芯片转运到中国,一年多前开始对黄乐进行监视。在监视过程中,他们发现她与一名被确认为黄仁勋的美国公民有通信。

看过该情报的官员说,他们确信两人之间存在恋爱关系。这削弱了英伟达过去一年向《纽约时报》和其他方面就黄仁勋与黄乐关系性质所作的最初误导性声明。

大约一年前,特朗普被告知美国情报界一直在对黄乐进行电子监视。

今年春天,国务卿鲁比奥监督起草了一份高度机密备忘录,详细说明情报显示黄乐被中国国家安全部招募来针对黄仁勋。该备忘录在今年早些时候总统访华前不久被传阅。

随着美国监视黄乐的新闻曝光,黄仁勋的回旋余地几乎消失。国会希望他作证——很可能是宣誓作证——而有关监视的报道让人更加相信,美国情报部门可能已经知晓他与黄乐关系的性质。
