“Nothing excuses what I did”: an extramarital affair plunges the boss of Nvidia into the heart of a espionage affair

It's difficult to imagine a more sensitive issue: the boss of the largest market capitalization on the planet, billions of dollars of state-of-the-art chips, the race for supremacy in artificial intelligence between the two leading world powers... and a suspicious romantic relationship, over which the shadow of Beijing hangs.

Jensen Huang, the highly publicized CEO of Nvidia, admitted in a letter to his employees that he had entered into an extramarital relationship with a woman suspected of having been recruited by Chinese intelligence services: “I was unfaithful to my wife. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.”

Before continuing and saying that he takes “full responsibility” for his actions and accepts “the criticism that results from it”.

Has the boss of the company that supplies essential components to the American artificial intelligence revolution, without his knowledge, been placed at the center of a foreign influence operation?
