Nvidia board weighs ousting CEO Jensen Huang after affair probe

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 move stems from revelations of an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese spy, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. The investigation, announced Sunday, follows a New York Times report of the affair and a second relationship with a subordinate executive. Nvidia stated it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised, while Huang admitted to being unfaithful in a letter to employees and apologized to his family. 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 industry, though Nvidia has not yet commented on the board's decision.
