bbc.com (Portuguese) —

Jensen Huang resigned as CEO of Nvidia on Thursday following revelations of two extramarital affairs, including one with a businesswoman accused of being a Chinese spy. His dramatic exit has shaken global markets and the AI industry. The first affair, with an entrepreneur linked to espionage allegations, drew international attention and puzzled investors. A second relationship with an Nvidia colleague was reported Wednesday. Huang's departure creates uncertainty in stock markets already volatile, as Nvidia is central to US-China tech competition. Huang, once celebrated as a "genius" at the White House and nicknamed the "Taylor Swift of technology," built a $4 trillion company dominating AI chips. His clients include Google, Meta, and Tesla. He was known for presenting himself as a family man, married to Lori Mills since 1985.
