US Congress to Question Ousted Nvidia Founder Jensen Huang

US lawmakers will question Jensen Huang, the ousted founder and former CEO of Nvidia, over a scandal involving his alleged ties to a suspected Chinese spy. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott demanded his testimony on Thursday, November 12. Huang and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick are summoned to appear before the Senate Banking Committee, with Scott citing serious concerns about national security and protection of critical American technologies. Three House committees have also called for his closed-door testimony on December 1, threatening a subpoena if he refuses. Huang resigned from all Nvidia posts amid reports of an alleged affair with a Singapore-based manager, identified as a Chinese citizen suspected of links to Chinese intelligence. The 63-year-old, a symbol of the AI boom, led the strategically vital chipmaker whose products are essential for modern AI models and supercomputers.
