Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has said he will fully cooperate with an independent investigation launched by the company's board into national security concerns raised in recent news reports, according to an email sent to employees and seen by Axios.
In the email, Huang sought to reassure employees, board members, business partners and shareholders about his commitment to the company and its responsibilities towards US national security.
"Regarding the national security concerns raised in news reports, NVIDIA's Board of Directors has initiated an independent investigation. I support the investigation and will cooperate fully," Huang wrote.
He also stressed his commitment to protecting the company and supporting America's national security.
"I love our country and our company, and I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America's national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American," he added.
Huang takes responsibility and seeks to rebuild trust
Addressing Nvidia employees and the company's leadership, Huang acknowledged that his actions had affected the trust placed in him by colleagues, the board, partners and shareholders.
"To my colleagues at NVIDIA, including those I have worked alongside for decades, and to our board, partners, and shareholders around the world: you deserve better from me," he wrote.
He described leading Nvidia as the privilege of his life and said he remained fully committed to the company.
"My responsibility is to serve you and be worthy of your trust. I have fallen short of that responsibility. I am fully committed to NVIDIA and will work to earn back your confidence," the email stated.
Huang also asked that his family be kept out of the matter, saying they bore no responsibility for his choices.
"My family bears no responsibility for my choices. I do. Please give them privacy," he wrote.
The email comes as the company faces scrutiny over the national security concerns raised in recent reports. The independent investigation initiated by Nvidia's board is expected to examine those concerns.
