Allegations have emerged of a close relationship between Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, one of the world's largest technology companies, and a Chinese businesswoman named Alice Huang. The matter has created new tensions in US-China relations.
The Core Allegation
In the United States, it has been alleged that Alice Huang attempted to gather information from Jensen Huang by cultivating a close relationship with him. Nvidia now faces a new crisis over this incident. However, no official details about the allegations have been released yet.The Rise of Nvidia
Once a manufacturer of graphics cards for computer games, Nvidia's GPUs are now crucial for training artificial intelligence models, running services like ChatGPT, and powering data center computing.The company was founded in 1993 by three engineers, including Jensen Huang, with just $40,000 in capital at a Denny's restaurant. When its first chip failed, Nvidia nearly went bankrupt. Investments from Sega, rapid strategic shifts, and long-term investment in CUDA software helped the company turn around.
In 2012, AlexNet, trained using Nvidia GPUs, demonstrated new possibilities in AI research. Later, the rise of ChatGPT rapidly increased demand for Nvidia's chips.
