Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, has acknowledged his infidelity and apologized, bringing renewed attention to his life philosophy emphasized just five months ago on a domestic broadcast.
In a letter sent to employees on November 8, Huang admitted, "I have not been faithful to my wife. My actions have hurt my wife and children."
The controversy began following reports that Huang had a close relationship with a female entrepreneur suspected of ties to Chinese intelligence. U.S. intelligence agencies have raised concerns about her information-gathering activities.
NVIDIA's board has initiated an independent investigation but stated that there is currently no evidence of a breach of national security or company confidentiality. Huang has expressed his full cooperation with the inquiry.
Meanwhile, remarks made by Huang during his appearance on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' on June 10 have resurfaced. When asked by host Yoo Jae-suk about criteria for evaluating talent beyond academic achievements, Huang explained that in the age of artificial intelligence, the rarity of intelligence itself is diminishing.
He emphasized, "The most important thing is humanity," and advised that when selecting colleagues, one should look for individuals who genuinely wish for the success of others and are generous in spirit.
Huang also shared his love story with his wife, Lori Huang, revealing that he first met her at age 17 when she was two years older. He suggested they study together based on his strong academic performance, which led to weekly dates.
He noted that his signature leather jacket was chosen by his wife, expressing his affection by stating that he has not shopped for clothes since meeting her at 17.
However, just five months later, Huang has admitted to betraying the trust of his family and employees. He stated that leading NVIDIA is a privilege and expressed his commitment to restoring trust among its members.
Additionally, NVIDIA's board plans to investigate the matter with the assistance of external legal experts through an independent committee. The board maintains its confidence in Huang and the management team.
