China’s intelligence services recruited Megaspeed executive Alice Huang to gather information on Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, The Verge reported citing The Information. The account describes an alleged effort to penetrate circles around the chipmaker whose processors dominate AI training. Nvidia and the individuals named have not publicly confirmed the espionage narrative in the Verge summary. US-China tech rivalry has already brought export controls on advanced semiconductors, making executive-level intelligence highly sensitive. If verified, the case would underline how AI supply chains have become targets for state spying. Corporate security advisers said firms may tighten vetting around partners with cross-border AI hardware ties.
