Huang affair scandal roils AI industry, Korea

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's admitted extramarital affair, reportedly with a Chinese executive suspected of smuggling AI chips into China, has triggered a leadership crisis and global fallout. The Nvidia board is reportedly preparing to oust Huang, and the company has opened an independent probe amid Chinese spy allegations, Business Korea reports. A shareholder has sued Nvidia and Huang, accusing them of deceiving investors about the affair, Korea Times reports. The scandal has also prompted the U.S. to tighten tech curbs on China, Business Korea reports. In Korea, the affair is rattling investors—Nvidia is the second-most-held U.S. stock among Korean investors—and casting uncertainty over Korea's AI road map and deepening AI ties with Nvidia, as Yonhap and Korea Times report. Korean chip industry uncertainty is spreading "like wildfire," Business Korea reports, with concerns that Huang's potential exit could disrupt Korea's semiconductor and AI plans.
