Zoe Kleinman: How AI visionary Jensen Huang was undone by his own bad decisions

If I'd told you this time last week that Jensen Huang was about to leave Nvidia, you would not have believed me.

The man who co-founded this enormously successful AI chip company, working tirelessly to build it from the ground up and steering it through some disastrous times with endless energy and ruthless determination, has ultimately been undone by his own love life.

It's an extraordinary tale and a strangely old fashioned one for a tech firm with its sights set on the future.

It spawned a plethora of viral memes, seeing Huang as the man caught by the Coldplay kiss-cam with a married colleague, or singing along to George Michael's classic hit about betrayal, Careless Whisper.

Both were ironically AI-generated using the very tech he was helping to build.

This week I met two Silicon Valley execs and I asked them how they were processing the news - "in memes", was the response.

But they didn't seem to think Huang would be forced out by his alleged adultery.

The stakes were too high, they said, the entire AI industry relies too heavily on Nvidia chips to break a winning formula.

But that was before rumours of a second affair surfaced, this time with a colleague, and the board decided he had gone too far.

His behaviour suddenly cast him in a different light: a man who could make bad decisions and cover them up.
