Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang withdraws from AI events as board probes China spy allegations

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has withdrawn from two upcoming AI events after admitting to infidelity, while the company's board investigates whether he was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. Huang is no longer expected at Anthropic's private CEO Forum and has been removed from the ElevenLabs Summit speaker lineup. He apologized to his family and Nvidia employees on November 8, and the board has opened an independent investigation into the matter. The investigation follows reports about Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, which US officials suspect may be a Chinese intelligence asset. Megaspeed purchased $4.8 billion in Nvidia chips over two years, and authorities have probed possible export violations.
