Meet Lori Huang, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's low-profile wife who runs a $9.2 billion foundation that rivals the famous MacArthur Foundation

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was allegedly involved in a close relationship with a Chinese spy. Huang is one of the most influential people when it comes to artificial intelligence. This development came as shocking news as Huang's company's chips power AI systems around the world. This is also central to the US-China rivalry in the sector of technology.

According to US media reports citing a classified government memo, it was claimed that Jensen Huang had a romantic relationship with Alice Huang. It is alleged that Alice was a woman sent by China to spy on the Nvidia CEO. The reports have also claimed that the US government might have enough evidence to back this development.

Despite all these developments, some attention has also gone to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's wife and what she does.
