China recruits AI exec to spy on Jensen Huang

china's ministry of state security (mss) recruited alice huang, an executive at megaspeed, which is a customer of nvidia's, to spy on jensen huang, nvidia's ceo. the mss aimed to gather intelligence on american ai chips and potentially influence nvidia to make its most advanced chips available to china. alice huang has close relationships with executives at the highest levels of the ai chip industry, including leaders at gigabyte. jensen huang was reportedly seen as the target of a chinese spy plot, and president trump was briefed on the relationship between alice huang and jensen huang last year but did not take any action. three house committees have asked jensen huang to appear for a joint, closed-door briefing on his interactions with alice huang.
