Well, Nvidia shares taking a beating today after the tech giant
launched an internal investigation
into whether its CEO leaked company secrets.
And this comes after he admitted to having an affair with a woman
who's suspected to be a spy
for the Chinese government. All right,
Fox 5's Antoine Lewis, live in the newsroom with what
we've learned today. Antoine. Steve and Natasha, major drama here.
We're talking marital infidelity,
international espionage allegations,
and concerns over national security information,
given the artificial intelligence aspirations
of the United States government. NVIDIA
CEO Jensen Huang has acknowledged an intimate relationship with a woman
who ran a data center
in Singapore. The New York Times reports
that U.S. intelligence officials believe the woman
is a spy gathering information for Beijing.
NVIDIA is now investigating whether or not
Jensen Wong was the target
of a foreign intelligence effort. NVIDIA chips power
many of the data centers
and computing systems used to train and run AI models.
Its advanced processors have
also been the focus of U.S. export restrictions.
aimed at limiting China's access
to cutting-edge semiconductor technology.
Some espionage experts question how NVIDIA missed what many
in the intelligence community say were
several red flags. The background on this woman alone is suspicious.
How she elevated herself
into this high a level of a role when looking at her background,
she had no experience in
technology, no experience in running a company,
and all of a sudden she's sitting at these
These multi-billion dollar meetings with the CEO of NVIDIA.
China has denied the allegations of spying,
calling the accusation a smear campaign.
Nvidia stocks were down about 5% when Wall Street opened Monday.
They ended the day down 4.2%, or nearly 8 points.
That's the latest from the newsroom.
Stephen, we'll send it back upstairs to you.
All right.
Thanks, Antoine.
