The future of AI hinges on… Jensen Huang’s sex life?
What happened
Nvidia's board has opened an independent investigation into whether CEO Jensen Huang was the target of a Chinese intelligence effort, after he confirmed an affair with a suspected Chinese spy.
The board will form a committee of independent directors that works with outside counsel, according to a statement from Nvidia.
The board said it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised.
Beijing's state-run Global Times rejected any government link and accused US media, especially The New York Times, of inventing a spy story.
Dan Ives, a tech analyst, said the board inquiry could cost Huang his job and would weigh on Nvidia's share price.
“Nvidia is not an ordinary company and Jensen is not an ordinary CEO; he is Nvidia”
