US President Donald Trump described the scandal surrounding Jensen Huang, former CEO of NVIDIA, as "very sad", hours after the chip manufacturer announced the resignation of its founder.
Trump raised Huang's case during an interview with Hugh Hewitt on Salem News Channel, when he was asked about Chinese espionage and artificial intelligence.
“The level of importance of super-AI is truly beyond belief,” Trump said, a term he uses to refer to artificial intelligence. He then repeated the argument that he had a “genetic gift” to understand artificial intelligence, due to an uncle who taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
He then added that his uncle received the same science award that he recently awarded to Elon Musk and other tech leaders, including Jensen.
The president said of the Hwang scandal: “We gave the award to Jensen, it was a short time ago, but what a terrible thing, it is really sad to see what happened.”

In another part of the interview, Trump repeated his usual line, that while China often spies on the United States, the United States also spies on China.
"You know, it's not just one sided. Someone says, 'They're tapping our phones,' and I said, 'That's right, we're tapping their phones, too,'" Trump said. "So, I don't want them to think we're a bunch of kids who don't realize what's going on."

Reports revealed an alleged relationship between NVIDIA President Jensen Huang and a former executive at the Singaporean company Megaspeed, raising fears of Chinese intelligence hacking a figure with direct access to US President Donald Trump, amid disagreements within the administration over restrictions on exporting advanced chips to China.
