Nvidia board weighs removing CEO Jensen Huang after internal probe

Nvidia's board of directors is meeting today to discuss the potential removal of CEO Jensen Huang, three days after an internal investigation into him began. The meeting follows reports of an alleged affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. The investigation stems from a New York Times report about Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, which The Wall Street Journal says involves suspected espionage. Nvidia stated the board prioritizes US national security and will examine all information, while Huang fully supports the investigation and has apologized to his family in a letter to employees. Huang has led Nvidia since co-founding it in 1993, and his departure would have major implications. The company's chips power nearly all active AI models, making security breaches a significant risk. The board is seeking to control the situation given Huang's prominent role as the face of AI in the US.
