Nvidia board weighs firing CEO Jensen Huang over spying and affair allegations

Nvidia's board is preparing to fire CEO Jensen Huang following a spying scandal and revelations of an extramarital affair, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing sources. The board may meet as soon as today to decide his fate. Huang admitted Sunday to an affair with Alice Huang, a Singapore-based executive at Nvidia client Megaspeed, whom US intelligence believes works for China. He also allegedly had a second affair with Nvidia healthcare VP Kimberly Powell, per the New York Times. Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and became a prominent figure in the AI race. The company's code of conduct urges employees to avoid personal relationships, and Nvidia said it is investigating reports of misconduct.
