Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has become the face of the US AI boom.

Nvidia has hired the major New York law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to investigate the affair between its chief executive and an alleged Chinese spy.

Jensen Huang, a co-founder of Nvidia who has led it to become one of the most valuable companies in the world, admitted to having a romantic relationship with a woman outside of his marriage.

The woman, Alice Huang, is alleged to be a spy for Beijing. She is an executive at a Singaporean company Megaspeed, which has been a customer of Nvidia.

Nvidia said on Tuesday that Wachtell attorney Joon Kim was set to lead “a thorough and independent investigation” into Jensen Huang’s affair. The FBI is also conducting its own probe.

Kim is a former US Attorney for New York’s Southern District and spent several years working as a government attorney focused on fraud and other criminal acts.

Wachtell is one of the largest law firms in the US and has several notable clients in the tech industry. Among them are OpenAI and Salesforce.
