Nvidia board launches independent investigation; Jensen says he will cooperateMachine translation

Nvidia’s board stated today that it has found “no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised” as a result of Jensen’s actions. They are initiating an independent investigation overseen by a committee of independent directors, assisted by outside independent counsel, that will examine all available information. This will be an unbiased, exhaustive and thorough investigation given the fiduciary responsibilities of these independent directors. Jensen said that “I support the investigation and will cooperate fully. I love our country and our company. I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America’s national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American.” I have known Jensen for almost 30 years. I simply do not believe he would ever knowingly do anything to disadvantage either America or Nvidia. The only thing he has ever said to me about China is the absolute importance of keeping the American hardware ecosystem, led by Nvidia, ahead of China. That’s it. More detailed thoughts follow below:
