Nvidia disputed a New York Times report that American intelligence agencies had monitored Alice Huang, a close associate of CEO Jensen Huang, because they suspected she might be a Chinese intelligence asset. The company said Singapore-based Megaspeed is one of its regional cloud customers and that Huang routinely speaks with thousands of customers each year without giving them access to trade secrets or sensitive national security information. Nvidia said diversion allegations involving Megaspeed were thoroughly investigated and debunked last year and added that the U.S. government had not informed it of any threat involving Alice Huang. The dispute comes amid U.S. restrictions on Nvidia’s artificial intelligence chips and Chinese import barriers that led the company to write off about $4.5 billion in China-tuned AI chips last year.
