Chipmaker Nvidia has launched an independent investigation following reports that its chief executive, Jensen Huang, had a relationship with a Chinese businesswoman whom US intelligence officials believed was spying for Beijing.
The company’s board said it had no reason to believe that national security or company secrets had been compromised, and that Mr Huang would continue to lead the firm.
In a statement, Mr Huang admitted being unfaithful to his wife, apologised to his family and said he would cooperate fully with the inquiry.
Nvidia, one of the world’s most valuable companies, makes much of the hardware that powers today’s artificial intelligence systems.
