The (alleged) spy who loved me: the Nvidia scandal - podcast

Global technology editor Dan Milmo on the scandal rocking the world of AI: US intelligence believes the lover of Nvidia’s chief executive, Jensen Huang, is a Chinese spy

Nvidia is one of the biggest companies in the world. Its chief executive, Jensen Huang, is worth around $150bn (£112bn). But the AI giant’s stock is sliding – and Huang’s position is under question – after it emerged on Sunday that he had been having an affair with a woman US intelligence services believe is a Chinese spy.

Global technology editor Dan Milmo talks through the scandal that has rocked both Silicon Valley and the financial markets.

And Helen Pidd asks how the head of one of the most technologically advanced companies in the world – the creator of the superchips used to power the AI boom – could allegedly fall for one of the oldest ruses in the book.
