Alice Huang Drawn Into Spy Allegations and Jensen Huang Affair Probe

Alice Huang has become the focus of reports alleging that she was recruited by Beijing to gather intelligence on Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang. The claims, reported by The New York Times and cited by other media, have not been independently verified by AFP. Public information about the Chinese executive remains limited, and the allegations are not established as fact. According to the Times, Huang—also known as Huang Le—was a senior figure at Singapore-based data centre company Megaspeed International and had close connections in the global artificial-intelligence chip industry. The newspaper cited people briefed on alleged surveillance. A profile found online listed previous work at HSBC and as a reporter for Chinese broadcasters CCTV and Hunan TV, but AFP said it could not verify the profile or establish who created it. The reports also described a personal relationship between Huang and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, who is not related to her. Jensen Huang reportedly told Nvidia staff that he was “deeply sorry” for being unfaithful to his wife. Nvidia’s board said it had opened a probe after he acknowledged the affair, according to the article. Images have added to the public interest. One photograph shared on LinkedIn from an industry gathering in 2024 appeared to show Jensen Huang seated beside a woman believed to be Alice Huang. The pair were also seen at a dinner hosted by the Nvidia chief in Taipei during Computex in May 2025, according to the report. AFP described the woman in the footage as Alice Huang, while the broader allegations about her alleged intelligence work remain media claims rather than verified findings.
