How Jensen Huang became Trump's trusted AI advisor
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has become a key advisor to President Donald Trump on artificial intelligence policy, shaping chip export decisions and national strategy despite growing scrutiny over his ties to a business partner suspected of Chinese intelligence work. Trump has repeatedly overruled administration officials who raised concerns about Huang, approving chip deals to China and enacting industry-friendly AI policies after the CEO urged action against state-level regulations. The president has also taken Huang on international trips and presented him with the National Medal of Science. Lawmakers are now investigating the relationship, with Democrats calling for a comprehensive probe into potential intelligence compromises and corruption issues. Trump has said he doesn't know if the woman in question was a spy, while Nvidia's board has launched its own investigation into the matter.
