Nvidia CEO admits affair with alleged Chinese spy | 7NEWS

"There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry." Jensen Huang's statement appears on screen in a 7NEWS Australia report that connects his admission of an affair with espionage allegations and the security stakes surrounding Nvidia.

The Short passed 300,000 views before its first full day, against a usual first-day audience of fewer than 10,000 for the broadcaster's Shorts.

Reporter Nick Etchells reads Huang's apology after archive footage from outside a Taipei restaurant. 7NEWS reports that US intelligence alleges the affair involved a Chinese spy. That allegation is separate from Huang's admission of infidelity.

Donald Trump also appears, saying he has not spoken to Huang about the matter. His brief response offers no account of the security implications.

Those implications become the report's next subject: Nvidia's AI chips and their strategic importance. Australian National University cybersecurity expert Professor Alex Potanin stresses the need to secure critical infrastructure while retaining access to advanced capabilities, shifting the report from a personal apology to the technology at stake.
