> The inquiry will examine possible foreign intelligence access. The board said it has found no sign that company secrets or U.S. national security were compromised.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an extramarital affair and apologized to his family and employees, prompting the board to launch an independent review of possible security and governance risks.

In a message to employees, Huang accepted responsibility for his conduct and said he would cooperate. Nvidia’s board formed a special committee of independent directors and hired outside legal counsel to examine whether a foreign intelligence service used the relationship to access company leadership.

The board said it has found no sign that company trade secrets or U.S. national security were compromised. Huang will remain CEO while the review is underway.

The relationship under review involved Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore data center operator Megaspeed. U.S. intelligence officials suspect she was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security. Megaspeed bought more than $4.8 billion in Nvidia chips over the past two years and is under regulatory scrutiny over suspected transfers of advanced AI processors to China in violation of U.S. export controls.

Three Republican House committee chairs have requested a closed-door briefing with Huang for Nov. 18.
