Here’s the full text of Jensen Huang’s memo to Nvidia

Judgment

Nvidia’s board now decides how independent and public the investigation into Jensen Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang will be—and whether to keep him as CEO while it runs, weighing national-security exposure against the cost of destabilizing leadership.

Basis

The Verge reports that on Sunday Nvidia announced an investigation into CEO Jensen Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang, described in the source as an AI executive and an agent of the Chinese government. The board of directors announced the investigation; Huang then sent employees a memo acknowledging the affair, apologizing to his family and colleagues, and saying he takes full responsibility. In the memo he also says the board “has initiated an independent investigation” into the national-security concerns raised in news reports, that he supports it, and that he will cooperate fully. The mechanism is governance: the board controls the probe’s independence and scope, while Huang’s admission and the alleged foreign-government link create reputational and national-security exposure that the board must manage without disrupting Nvidia’s leadership.
