NVIDIA 董事会独立调查(黄仁勋被外国情报行动针对)
NVIDIA's board opens an independent investigation into reports that Jensen Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort
NVIDIA's board published a statement opening an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort. A committee of independent directors, assisted by outside independent counsel, will oversee it and examine all available information. The board says it treats US national and economic security as paramount but has no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised, that Huang fully supports the review and has committed to cooperating, and that it has confidence in him and his leadership team. The backdrop is a day of reporting on 8 November — FT, Axios, Bloomberg, then NBC, CBS, Politico and the Guardian — that Huang admitted to an affair with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy, and the resulting questions about whether he was targeted by foreign intelligence. For a company currently scaling Vera Rubin rack-scale systems to multi-gigawatt deployments and expanding its Muse collaboration with Meta, a CEO-level security review is the most sensitive kind of governance event, hence `milestone`. The official statement page is the first-hand source; the HN thread reached 436 points.
