Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, is facing a mounting scandal involving an alleged Chinese spy and secret advanced chip shipments to China.
Nvidia announced an independent investigation, and House Republicans have called Huang to a closed-door hearing while President Donald Trump had earlier defended him and later called for a federal investigation. The company is facing questions over whether Huang knew or should have known that a company tied to the woman at the center of the affair was supplying advanced Nvidia chips to Chinese firms.
If Huang was complicit in alleged smuggling of advanced Nvidia chips into China, it could be enough to force his resignation, and his influence over U.S. AI policy may be diminished even if he stays.
