Nvidia CEO faces scrutiny over alleged affairs and suspected spy ties

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces mounting scrutiny over allegations of extramarital relationships, including one with a senior executive and another with a suspected Chinese spy, threatening his leadership of the $4 trillion chipmaker. His position is now precarious as the board considers his future. The New York Times reported Huang had a relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, witnessed at a March conference hotel, with a bystander allegedly forced to sign an NDA. Separately, US intelligence identified Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang as a suspected spy linked to efforts easing AI chip exports to China. Nvidia's board has met to discuss Huang's potential removal, with no clear successor identified, while shares have fallen amid investor fears over leadership disruption. Huang has denied nothing publicly, and the company declined comment, leaving the global AI industry's trajectory uncertain.
