“AI King Jensen Huang Now Faces Ouster as Board Prepares to Remove Him”

【Financial News, New York—Correspondent Lee Byung-chul】 Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, is facing the threat of dismissal. After an extramarital relationship with a person suspected of being a Chinese spy, an affair with an NVIDIA employee has also come to light, and the board is reportedly preparing to remove Huang as CEO.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on the 11th, local time, citing people familiar with the matter, that NVIDIA’s board is preparing to dismiss CEO Huang. The board is reportedly expected to meet as early as that day to decide Huang’s future.
In a letter to employees on the 8th, CEO Huang acknowledged that he had not been faithful to his wife and apologized for betraying the trust of employees. His partner in the extramarital relationship was reportedly Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based data company Megaspeed International.
Megaspeed International is a major NVIDIA customer. U.S. intelligence officials reportedly suspect that Alice Huang may be working for Chinese intelligence agencies. NVIDIA’s board had earlier launched an independent investigation to examine, among other things, the possibility of contact by foreign intelligence agencies.
An additional allegation has emerged that CEO Huang also had an extramarital relationship with an NVIDIA employee. Citing a person familiar with the matter, WSJ reported that Huang had an affair with an employee at the company. The New York Times (NYT) had also reportedly previously reported on a second extramarital relationship.
CEO Huang’s personal scandal is now expanding into an issue of U.S. national security. This is because of allegations that Megaspeed International may have supplied NVIDIA’s advanced AI semiconductors to China by circumventing U.S. export control regulations.
CEO Huang is the person who built NVIDIA into a key company in the global AI industry. Appearing at major events around the world in his signature black leather jacket, he has established himself as an iconic executive leading the AI revolution.
The AI semiconductors supplied by NVIDIA are considered essential components for global Big Tech companies’ data center investments and AI model development. CEO Huang has led the rapid growth of the AI semiconductor market and expanded NVIDIA’s influence.
But with allegations of Chinese espionage and an additional extramarital relationship surfacing one after another, CEO Huang’s leadership is facing a serious test. In particular, if NVIDIA’s board does decide to dismiss him, significant repercussions are expected for the global AI industry and semiconductor market.
