Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO amid spy affair scandal

Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of Nvidia, the company he co-founded 33 years ago, amid a scandal over an affair with a suspected Chinese spy and allegations of another extramarital relationship, KBS World reports. The Wall Street Journal reported the board was preparing to oust him, and a shareholder has sued Nvidia and Huang, accusing them of deceiving investors in their responses to media reports about the affair, the Korea Times reports. Bloomberg News reported that Alice Huang, the suspected spy, has returned to Beijing. The scandal has tainted Huang's rock-star image in Taiwan, where the FBI has begun an investigation, and has raised questions about Nvidia's future and the AI industry, with CFO Colette Kress reportedly set to take over, according to the Korea Times and Hankyoreh. Korean reaction includes a Korean star, Hwang Young Jin, who gave a witty explanation after being caught up in the aftermath, as Koreaboo reports, while Business Korea notes the global automaker industry is also watching the fallout closely.
