Chip thrills: Has the Analog Honeypot ensnared Nvidia’s AI pioneer Jensen Huang?

LONDON – Whether Nvidia boss Jensen Huang fell into a trap set out by China’s intelligence services when he indulged in an affair with Alice Huang remains a matter of conjecture. Apart from Huang’s admission to infidelity to his wife and letting down his family, colleagues, and shareholders, nothing is established fact.The US official document supposedly making this allegation has not been published, no charges have been brought, Beijing calls the entire story slander, Nvidia says no classified information or trade secrets passed to outsiders, and nobody has suggested publicly that Huang knew who he was dealing with.
