Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Steps Down Amid Scandals

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is stepping down, leaving the AI industry without its biggest champion and clouding the future of the chipmaker, the Korea Times reports. The board was preparing to oust him after reports of two extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy, according to the Wall Street Journal. Nvidia has opened an independent probe into the CEO amid the allegations, raising security concerns, Business Korea reports. A shareholder has also sued Nvidia and Huang, accusing them of deceiving investors about the affair, the Korea Times reports. Korean media coverage focuses on the leadership crisis and its global implications, with the Korea Times noting Huang had been "widely adored like a rock star" in his birthplace, Taiwan, but that image is now tainted after the FBI began an investigation. The documents do not provide details on Korean public reactions beyond this coverage.
