Jensen Huang Resigns as Nvidia CEO After Affair with Suspected Spy

Jensen Huang resigned as CEO of Nvidia after confessing to an affair with Alice Huang, a woman U.S. officials believe was spying for China, shocking Silicon Valley and raising national security concerns. The scandal, which emerged last Sunday and led to his resignation by Thursday, has stunned tech veterans who compare him to icons like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk. His departure disrupts the AI boom, as Nvidia's chips power the industry's rapid growth. The affair undermines the ideal of AI-driven transcendence, a vision of solving human problems through technology. Observers note the irony that a leader central to this promise fell to a tawdry personal scandal, marking an unprecedented fall in the region's history.
