Nvidia Board is Preparing to Potentially Oust CEO Jensen Huang

Three days after launching an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang, the Nvidia board is reportedly preparing to oust the executive.

Nvidia's board will be meeting as soon as today to discuss Huang's future after an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese spy, according to The Wall Street Journal. That affair was first reported by The New York Times, and was followed up by a statement issued by Nvidia on Sunday, saying it'd be investigating Jensen Huang. But according to a new report from The New York Times, he'd also engaged in a second affair with an executive who reported to him.

This meeting follows an investigation that was announced on Sunday. In that announcement, Nvidia said, "The Board prioritizes U.S. national and economic security, which is paramount to the interests of NVIDIA and its shareholders. While the Board has no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised, the Board's inquiry will examine all available information. Jensen fully supports the review and has committed to cooperating with it."

Huang then issued a letter to employees, obtained by The BBC, where he admitted that he was unfaithful and apologized for hurting his wife and children.

In many ways, Jensen Huang is the face of AI in the US, and so it makes sense that Nvidia's board would want to get this situation under control. The company's chips power nearly every AI model that's currently running, and so a security breach of this scale is a massive liability.
