Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO after affair with suspected Chinese spy

Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia CEO after confessing to an extramarital affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy, following a board investigation. His ouster marks a stunning fall for the AI industry's most prominent figure. The scandal emerged in late October over Huang's ties to Alice Huang, which he initially denied until confessing to Nvidia's general counsel on Nov. 6. A New York Times report revealing a second affair with a vice president prompted the board to force his resignation Wednesday night, with CFO Colette Kress named interim CEO. Huang, who co-founded Nvidia and built it into a multitrillion-dollar chip giant, now faces congressional testimony over potential national security risks. The board must find a permanent successor, with AMD's Lisa Su and Arm's Rene Haas considered potential candidates.
