Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s affair with an alleged Chinese spy has sparked fears of a major clampdown on the AI industry – pitting China hawks against those who warn that an overreaction will put the US at a disadvantage versus Beijing, The Post has learned. Lawmakers from both parties are scrutinizing past remarks from Jensen, who was the most influential voice pushing US officials to curb export controls on Nvidia chips — even as they assess whether his affair with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang compromised national security. Some DC sources believe the scandal will result in a bipartisan push for even stronger curbs on chip sales — with proponents concerned that Nvidia’s cutting-edge chips will fuel greater inroads into AI by Chinese companies.
