New photos show suspected Chinese spy Alice Huang gazing lovingly at Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang more than a year before the married AI tycoon admitted to having an affair with her.
Alice — who is of no relation to Jensen — couldn’t take her eyes off the Nvidia boss at a restaurant in Taipei in May 2025 during Computex, Taiwan’s top tech expo, resurfaced footage obtained by AFP shows.
In one moment caught on camera, the honeypot, clad in a pink dress, flashed a smile as she gently touched Jensen on the arm.
Alice, an executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based tech company that purchased billions in AI chips from Nvidia, was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), Beijing’s spy agency, according to a secret memo from the US State Department.
The months-old memo on Alice was based on electronic surveillance of her, according to the New York Times.
Jensen admitted that he cheated on his longtime wife of more than 40 years, Lori, with whom he has two children, after his $4.5 trillion company opened an investigation into the affair.
Nvidia’s board announced Sunday it launched a probe into whether Jensen was a “target of a foreign intelligence effort” — but said it still has confidence in his leadership.
“The Board prioritizes US national and economic security, which is paramount to the interests of NVIDIA and its shareholders,” the company emphasized.
“While the Board has no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised, the Board’s inquiry will examine all available information,” it added of the investigation, which will be conducted by independent counsel and directors.
Meanwhile, Megaspeed is also being probed over accusations it smuggled advanced Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) into China to circumvent US export restrictions on cutting-edge technology.
Jensen, who was touted as one of Time Magazine’s “Architects of AI” in their 2025 Person of Year, was appointed to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology by Trump earlier this year – despite the administration knowing about his relationship with Alice.
The 63-year-old tech mogul used his ties to the administration to sway the US AI policy, arguing against Biden-era restrictions on exports of Nvidia chips to China.
Trump defended Jensen Sunday as an “honorable guy” and “fine person.”
“He’s done an amazing job for our country,” the president told reporters Sunday night.
