Nvidia's board of directors announced on Sunday, November 8, the opening of an independent investigation. The American semiconductor giant is responding to recent articles referring to a Chinese espionage operation that targeted its chief executive.
France Info, with AFP, reported that the board had announced this investigation after the recent articles about the operation targeting its chief executive. The statement, as reported, emphasizes the confidence placed in Jensen and his cooperation, without any further detail on the outcome of the review.
The investigation is described as independent. In the passages made public, the board describes neither the course of the espionage operation mentioned by the press, nor the mandate of those tasked with the review, nor a timetable.
These publications are presented as revelations by several media outlets. They concern the leadership of a group described as a semiconductor behemoth and a major player in the artificial intelligence ecosystem.
