Nvidia has opened an independent investigation involving chief executive Jensen Huang after reports about his relationship with a woman alleged to have links to Chinese intelligence, the BBC reports. The allegations raise questions about possible access to Nvidia technology, but the BBC says there is no evidence so far that Huang passed information on.

The BBC reports that Huang will co-operate with the investigation and that China denies the woman was engaged in espionage. Those distinctions matter: an investigation and allegations are not proof of spying or information-sharing.

Discuss: Should Nvidia publish the investigation’s findings, including evidence that clears Huang, or keep the review private unless it finds wrongdoing?
