Nvidia Board Weighs Ousting CEO Jensen Huang After Affair Investigation

Nvidia's board is preparing to potentially oust CEO Jensen Huang, with a meeting scheduled as early as today, November 11, following an independent investigation into his conduct. The investigation, launched Sunday, centers on Huang's extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese spy, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. A New York Times report also alleges a second affair with a subordinate executive. Nvidia stated it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised, and Huang has admitted to being unfaithful in a letter to employees. Huang, a co-founder who has led Nvidia since 1993, is considered the face of AI in the US, with his company's chips powering most AI models. His potential ouster could have significant ramifications for the company and the broader industry.
