Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns amid affair with suspected Chinese spy

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned Thursday amid allegations of an affair with a suspected Chinese spy, triggering a stock plunge and a corporate crisis at the $4tn chipmaker. The scandal has shaken the AI industry and raised national security concerns. Huang admitted to infidelity following a New York Times report on his relationship with Alice Huang, a Chinese executive under US investigation for allegedly diverting AI chips to China. Reports of two additional affairs with Nvidia employees followed, and the Nasdaq fell 4% after his resignation. Security experts say the "honeypot" tactic is ancient, but the case highlights persistent human vulnerability in corporate espionage. Nvidia has launched an investigation, Huang will testify before Congress, and the FBI is probing the affair.
