英伟达(Nvidia)宣布,它正在对首席执行官黄仁勋(Jensen Huang)与 Megaspeed 高管 Alice Huang 之间的关系展开调查,据报道,Alice Huang 已被中国国家安全部招募来监视该公司。董事会发布的一份声明写道:
鉴于最近的报道指出创始人兼首席执行官黄仁勋成为外国情报活动的目标,英伟达董事会正在启动一项独立调查。由独立董事组成的委员会将在外部独立法律顾问的协助下监督此次调查。
董事会将美国国家安全和经济安全置于首位,这对英伟达及其股东的利益至关重要。虽然董事会没有理由相信国家安全或英伟达的秘密遭到泄露,但董事会的调查将审查所有可用信息。黄仁勋完全支持此次审查,并承诺予以配合。
董事会对黄仁勋及其领导团队充满信心,并将适时提供进一步更新。
《纽约时报》上个月报道称,黄仁勋与这位 Megaspeed 高管建立了“密切关系”,他后来在公司备忘录中承认这种关系具有浪漫性质。美国官员认为她一直在直接向北京传递信息。
Megaspeed 是英伟达的客户,目前正受到商务部的调查,调查其是否向中国走私人工智能芯片。该公司的 AI 芯片被视为美国维持技术优势的关键因素。拜登政府和特朗普政府都限制了其向中国的销售。特朗普总统放宽了这些限制,但仍禁止向中国公司出售英伟达最强大的芯片,并且商务部必须批准个别公司处理这些芯片。
同样重要的是,黄仁勋与唐纳德·特朗普关系相当密切,人们担心他可能获知了关于政府围绕人工智能决策过程的哪些内幕。以及这些信息中的任何内容是否可能被分享给 Alice Huang,并最终传至北京。

is the Verge’s weekend editor. He’s covered the tech industry for over 18 years and knows a thing or two about synths.
Nvidia has announced that it is opening an investigation into CEO Jensen Huang and his relationship with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, who was reportedly recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to spy on the company. A statement posted by the board of directors reads:
The NVIDIA Board is initiating an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort. A committee of independent directors, assisted by outside independent counsel, will oversee the investigation.
The Board prioritizes U.S. national and economic security, which is paramount to the interests of NVIDIA and its shareholders. While the Board has no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised, the Board’s inquiry will examine all available information. Jensen fully supports the review and has committed to cooperating with it.
The Board has confidence in Jensen and his leadership team and will provide further updates as appropriate.
The New York Times reported last month that Huang had developed a “close relationship” with the Megaspeed executive, which he later admitted was romantic in nature in a memo to the company. US officials believe she was feeding information directly back to Beijing.
Megaspeed is a customer of Nvidia and is the subject of a Commerce Department investigation into whether it was smuggling AI chips to China. The company’s AI chips are viewed as crucial to the US maintaining technological supremacy. Both the Biden and Trump administrations have restricted their sale to China. President Trump has loosened those restrictions but still bars sales of Nvidia’s most powerful chips to Chinese firms, and the Commerce Department must approve individual firms to handle the chips.
Just as importantly, Jensen Huang has gotten quite cozy with Donald Trump, and there is concern about what insights into the administration’s deliberations around AI he may have been privy to. And whether any of that information may have been shared with Alice Huang, and eventually found its way to Beijing.
