Jensen Huang Quits Nvidia After 33 Years Amid China Spy Allegations And Affairs Scandal

Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang has resigned with immediate effect, ending a 33-year leadership run at the AI chip giant. His departure follows mounting controversy over his reported relationship with Alice Huang, a businesswoman whom US intelligence officials reportedly suspected of having links to Chinese intelligence. Alice was also associated with Singapore-based data centre company Megaspeed International, which faced scrutiny over allegations of Nvidia chips being diverted to Chinese firms. Nvidia had launched an independent investigation after Huang admitted to infidelity and apologised to his family and employees. The controversy intensified after a New York Times report alleged another relationship with Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell. Nvidia CFO Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO as the board searches for a permanent successor. What led to the fall of one of the most recognisable faces of the global AI boom? Here's the story behind Jensen Huang's exit.
