Huang affair scandal shakes Korea's AI chip outlook

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a businesswoman suspected of spying for the Chinese government, and Nvidia's board said Sunday it is investigating whether he was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, Korea Times and KBS World report. The controversy is casting a shadow over Nvidia's partnerships in Korea, where industry officials worry it could eventually affect the U.S. AI chip supply, and Nvidia shares slid Monday amid the probe, Korea Times and Business Korea report. Korean media also note renewed attention on Huang's past TV comments about his wife, and Business Korea describes the privacy and security risks around Huang as spreading "like wildfire," fanning uncertainty in Korea's chip sector. Fans in Seoul and Taipei have mobbed Huang for autographs, and his close ties to U.S. President Donald Trump are now under scrutiny, Korea Times reports.
