By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was reportedly a potential target in a spy plot involving a Chinese intelligence asset, according to a recent report. The individual, identified as Alice Huang (also known as Huang Le or Alice Wong), is an executive at Megaspeed, a Singaporean AI firm under investigation for allegedly smuggling Nvidia AI chips to China. U.S. intelligence has been aware of her activities and reportedly briefed former President Donald Trump, who allegedly took no action to avoid impacting Nvidia sales or antagonizing China. Nvidia stated that Huang's interactions with customers like Megaspeed are standard for a CEO and that they share only ordinary business information, not trade secrets or national security-related data.
