据《纽约时报》援引知情人士报道,被调查对象为新加坡AI云计算企业Megaspeed高管黄乐(Alice Huang)。美国情报机构据称对其进行了约一年的监控,以了解其与中国方面的联系情况。在调查过程中,情报人员发现她与黄仁勋在新加坡地区多次商务活动和晚宴中保持密切接触。
知情人士表示,美国方面担忧黄乐与黄仁勋建立的关系可能被用于获取英伟达未来战略规划,以及黄仁勋游说特朗普政府放宽对华先进技术出口限制等相关信息。由于英伟达在全球人工智能产业链中占据核心地位,这一情况引起了美国政府内部的高度关注。
报道称,大约一年前,美国总统特朗普已经收到有关调查结果的简报。部分官员担心,中国可能借助与黄仁勋接触的渠道获得美国人工智能产业及政策层面的相关信息。然而报道同时指出,特朗普并未采取进一步行动。分析认为,英伟达在美国经济和资本市场中的重要地位,以及复杂的中美经贸关系,都是影响决策的重要因素。
根据公开信息,Megaspeed是一家总部位于新加坡的AI基础设施与云计算服务企业,同时也是英伟达在亚太地区的合作伙伴之一。早在2025年,美国商务部就曾对该公司展开调查,怀疑其帮助中国企业绕过美国出口管制规定,通过转售或间接方式获取受限制的英伟达AI芯片。
对于相关报道,英伟达予以明确否认。公司发言人表示,黄仁勋与黄乐之间的接触与其和其他客户高管之间的正常商业往来并无区别。作为一家全球性企业的CEO,黄仁勋每年都会与数千名客户管理层进行沟通和交流。
英伟达强调,区域云服务客户获得的信息仅限于普通商业信息,不涉及任何敏感商业机密、核心技术秘密或与国家安全相关的内容。公司表示,没有向Megaspeed提供任何特殊权限,也不存在向其披露机密信息的情况。
针对此前有关Megaspeed涉嫌协助规避芯片出口管制的质疑,英伟达进一步表示,相关指控此前已接受调查,并已被证明缺乏依据。公司称,有关该企业参与芯片转运或规避出口限制的说法已经在此前调查中被排除。
报道还指出,美国政府通常会在发现企业高管可能成为外国情报机构目标时,向相关人士发出风险警告。不过相关信息显示,黄仁勋并未收到类似防范简报。英伟达则表示,如果美国政府认定某个人确实对美国产业安全构成威胁,相信相关部门会正式通知公司。
此次事件再次凸显全球人工智能竞争背景下,美国对于先进AI芯片流向与技术安全的高度敏感。随着英伟达在全球AI产业中的影响力不断扩大,该公司不仅成为人工智能技术竞争的核心参与者,也越来越深地卷入地缘政治和国家安全相关议题之中。

According to sources quoted in The New York Times, the subject of the investigation was Alice Huaang, an AI Cloud Calculator Enterprise in Singapore. U.S. intelligence agencies allegedly monitored them for about a year to obtain information on their contacts with China. In the course of the investigation, intelligence agents found that she was in close contact with Huang In-hoon during numerous business events and dinners in the Singapore area.
According to the source, the United States is concerned that the relationship established between Huang Lok and Huang In-hoon could be used to obtain information on the strategic plans for the future of Young Wei Da and to lobby the Trump government to ease export restrictions on the state-of-the-art technology in China. This is a matter of great concern within the United States Government, given its central position in the global AIS chain.
It is reported that approximately a year ago, United States President Trump received a briefing on the findings of the investigation. Some officials are concerned that China may use contacts with Huang In-hoon to obtain relevant information on the United States artificial intelligence industry and at the policy level. At the same time, however, the report notes that no further action has been taken by Trump. The analysis found that the important position of British Wida in the United States economy and capital markets, as well as complex Central American-American-Trade relations, were important factors influencing decision-making.
According to publicly available information, Megaspeed is an AI Infrastructure and Cloud Calculator Service Enterprise based in Singapore and is one of the partners of Young Weidar in the Asia-Pacific region. As early as 2025, the United States Department of Commerce had investigated the company and suspected it had helped Chinese enterprises to circumvent United States export control regulations and to obtain restricted British Weida AI chips by resale or indirect.
Welda clearly denied the reports. According to a corporate spokesperson, contacts between Huang In-hoon and Huang Lok were no different from normal business transactions between him and other client executives. As CEO of a global enterprise, Hoang In-hoon communicates and communicates with thousands of client management each year.
Weeda stressed that the information obtained by customers of regional cloud services was limited to ordinary business information and did not involve any sensitive business secrets, core technical secrets or elements related to national security. The company stated that no special permission had been provided to Megaspeed and that there had been no disclosure of confidential information to it.
In response to a previous challenge about Megaseed ' s alleged involvement in the evasion of chip export controls, Ying Weida further indicated that the allegations had previously been investigated and had proved to be unsubstantiated. According to the company, claims that the company was involved in the transfer of chips or circumventing export restrictions had been excluded from previous investigations.
It was also noted that the United States Government often sends a risk warning to individuals when it finds that corporate executives may be the target of foreign intelligence agencies. However, the information indicated that Hoang In-hoon had not received a similar precautionary briefing. The United States Government, for its part, indicated that if the United States Government found that an individual did pose a threat to United States industrial security, it was confident that the relevant authorities would formally notify the company.
The event once again highlighted the high sensitivity of the United States to the flow of advanced AI chips to technology security in the context of global artificial intelligence competition. As Britain's influence in the global AI industry expands, it becomes not only a central player in the competition for AI but also increasingly involved in geopolitical and national security-related issues.
