The extramarital affair of Huida CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has spread. In addition to the "mistress" Huang Le, who is suspected of being a Chinese spy, the New York Times reported that Huang, 63, had had an extramarital affair with Kimberly Powell, the 48-year-old company vice president, and both parties were married. It is worth noting that "Little Four" Powell also came to Taiwan with Huang Renxun. In 2024, she led the Huida team to visit National Taiwan University Hospital, Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and other medical centers to discuss cooperation in medical AI.
The New York Times reported citing five former Huida employees that Powell joined Huida in 2008 and was promoted to vice president of healthcare in 2017, responsible for leading the introduction of chips and AI into medical imaging, biotechnology and drug research and development and other businesses. Insiders revealed that due to Powell's lack of medical and scientific background, the scandal between the two has been circulating within the company for several years.
People familiar with the matter pointed out that during the GTC annual developer conference held in San Jose, California in March this year, Huang Jen-Hsun and Powell were witnessed being intimate during a meeting at a nearby hotel and were recorded on mobile phones by bystanders. Huang's security personnel immediately isolated the bystander at the scene and asked him to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
It is worth noting that Huang Renxun met "mistress" Huang Le in Taiwan, and Powell also came to Taiwan with Huang Renxun. Huang Renxun led the Huida team to Taiwan in June 2024 to attend the Taipei International Computer Show (Computex), and Powell led members of the Huida team to visit National Taiwan University Hospital and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at that time.
National Taiwan University Hospital pointed out at the time that the two parties jointly discussed artificial intelligence medical cooperation in neurosurgery, imaging medicine, etc. Huida also cooperated with the Health Management Center of National Taiwan University Hospital to promote the Global AI Driven Mobile Health (GAIM Health) initiative. In addition to establishing a large-scale language model to export medical text summaries, it also used the NVIDIA MONAI platform to establish an artificial intelligence system for automatic selection and automatic annotation of image recognition to produce medical image summaries of key images. The generated text and image summaries are then used through blockchain technology to form a medical summary record that is portable and cannot be tampered with.
In addition, when Powell led a delegation to visit Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, he said that Huida has made progress in medical AI and can deploy models together with Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, and that genetic analysis is also a possible direction for cooperation in the future. Chang Geng pointed out that this visit symbolizes the beginning of the two parties joining forces to deepen cooperation, and will help jointly promote technological innovation and development of Taiwan's smart medical industry in the future.
