Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman and former Megaspeed executive, faces allegations of spying on NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang for China. Recent media reports have linked her to an alleged intelligence operation targeting the NVIDIA chief.
The case has attracted attention as US authorities investigate possible links between Megaspeed and restricted AI chip transfers to China.
Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, reportedly worked at Singapore-based Megaspeed International. According to reports citing US intelligence officials, China recruited her to gather information about Jensen Huang.
She allegedly used her close relationship with the NVIDIA chief to access information about the company's business and AI chip plans. However, authorities have not publicly charged her with espionage.
Public information about Alice Huang remains limited, despite her reported connections with major technology executives. An online profile in a Chinese fund database lists her earlier work experience. It reportedly includes positions at HSBC and Chinese television networks CCTV and Hunan TV.
However, independent verification of these employment details remains limited. Alice Huang also shares a surname with Jensen Huang, although the two have no family connection.
Media reports describe a close personal relationship between Alice Huang and the NVIDIA CEO. Photographs from industry events in 2024 and 2025 reportedly show them attending gatherings together.
The reports also describe their appearance at a private dinner during Computex in Taipei. Jensen Huang later acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife in a message to NVIDIA employees. He accepted responsibility for his actions and apologized to his family and colleagues.
Megaspeed International operates in Singapore's data center and cloud computing industry. The company provides computing power that businesses use to develop and operate artificial intelligence systems.
Its website describes the company as an NVIDIA cloud computing partner in the Asia-Pacific region. US authorities have investigated Megaspeed since 2024 over suspicions of helping Chinese companies access restricted NVIDIA chips.
Reports also link the company to purchases worth billions of dollars in NVIDIA processors. Megaspeed rejected earlier allegations of illegal chip transfers in December 2025. The company called the reports misleading and denied suggestions of illegal activity.
The allegations come amid growing technology competition between the United States and China. Washington restricts exports of advanced NVIDIA AI chips to China over national security concerns.
NVIDIA's board announced an independent investigation into reports involving Jensen Huang. The company said it had no reason to believe national security or company secrets suffered any damage.
An independent director committee will oversee the investigation with support from outside legal counsel. Jensen Huang has agreed to cooperate fully with the review.
The exact information Alice Huang allegedly shared with Beijing remains unclear. Reuters also could not independently verify the espionage allegations or her current employment status.
The case now raises wider questions about corporate security and foreign intelligence risks. NVIDIA's investigation will help establish whether the reported relationship exposed sensitive company information.
