A story that combines power, love, spying and technological warfare between the United States and China is shaking the world of artificial intelligence. The issue involving the former leader of the non-tech giant Navia, resigned Thursday following the discovery of connection with a suspected Chinese spy, has become increasingly complicated.
According to CNN sources, information collected so far does not prove that the woman in question, Alice Huang, acted as a spy for Beijing while she was connected. In fact, American officials disagree if there is strong evidence that it has been recruited by the Chinese State Security Ministry, the secret service considered CIA counterpart.
According to a private intelligence company investigation, Alice Huang may have had shares in Chinese companies that favoured Huawei, the leading rival of Nvivia on the Chinese market, while at the same time had business relations with the American giant.
But she was not the only woman Huang had a relationship with. Investigations revealed that Kimberly Powell, Nvivia’s vice president for the healthcare sector, also had extramarital relations with the former – CEO of the company. And it doesn’t end here.
According to Reuters, the 63-year-old former leader has also had an intimate relationship with a third woman, also the employee of the company, whose identity has not been made public. Huang, one of the world’s most powerful people, resigned after the launch of an independent investigation to determine whether he could have been the target of a foreign intelligence operation.
He has agreed to appear before the convention to render an account. The scandal has shaken Wall Street, where within a week, Novidia lost over $400 billion in its market value. (A2 Television)
