Nvidia chief Jensen Huang is the center of a new controversy as the U.S. intelligence community believes that he had a romantic relationship with a suspected Chinese spy.

According to the Financial Times, Alice Huang, sometimes referred to as Huang Le, was a top executive at Singaporean firm Megaspeed and was reportedly romantically involved with the CEO of the world’s largest AI chip manufacturer. Notably, Jensen is currently married to his wife of 41 years, Lori Huang.

It’s unclear whether Alice Huang was recruited by the Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS) before she joined Megaspeed or after she had already established a business relationship with Jensen, but it’s been reported that the suspected agent was apparently targeting the Nvidia head to help Chinese companies gain access to banned AI chips.

Megaspeed has been accused of smuggling $2 billion worth of AI chips into China via its subsidiary Speedmatrix, although Nvidia insists the company has no ties to China.

    I just think intelligence is a weird thing to attack billionaire ceos over, but if your point is more about different kinds of intelligence then I don’t have an issue with it.

      Ok wait. Why is that a weird thing? They are getting away with destroying the world because so many morons believe they are geniuses.

        No they get away with destroying the world because they are unethical. Intelligence is unrelated to morality.

          If they were intelligent, they wouldn’t want to destroy the world, because they live in the world. In this way, intelligence is tangentially related to morality.

      Something about his face and the constant wearing of the same leather jacket makes me just think; this guy seems a little dumb. He’s got something a little dumb about him.

      But you’re right, no one’s “intelligent” in all ways possible. Everyone’s got their dumb.
