Madison Huang photographed her father, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang at a Taipei restaurant in May 2025 during the Computex tech expo. The report follows the Nvidia CEO's admission in a letter to employees that he was unfaithful to his wife, Lori Huang. Madison spoke with Alice Huang multiple times during the dinner and took pictures of them together. During the visit to Taiwan last year, Jensen and Alice interacted closely, posing for photos with their arms around each other's waists. Videos showed Jensen putting his arm around Alice while she kissed him on the right cheek. After the dinner, Jensen left the restaurant with Alice and their entourage, and the two drove away together in the same car. US intelligence officials concluded in a classified memo last year that Alice Huang was targeting Jensen as a spy for Chinese intelligence agencies. At the time, Alice worked as a top executive at Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based data centre firm that is a core business partner of Nvidia's cloud business in the Asia-Pacific region.

Investigations

US President Donald Trump stated that the FBI is investigating the matter. Additionally, the Nvidia Board of Directors launched an internal probe to determine if Jensen was a target of foreign intelligence.

Context

High-profile tech executives often interact with regional business partners during major industry trade shows like Computex. When corporate leaders become subjects of foreign intelligence scrutiny or personal scandals, it triggers formal corporate board reviews and law enforcement inquiries.

What Happened

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was linked in reports to Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, whom US intelligence officials suspect of acting as a spy.

Why It Matters

The involvement of a major tech CEO with a suspected foreign intelligence operative raises severe national security concerns, particularly given Nvidia's critical role in global computing and artificial intelligence infrastructure.

What Happens Next

Federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, and Nvidia's own board of directors are conducting investigations to determine the extent of any security risks or compromise.
