The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Nov. 12, edition that Nvidia faced increasing pressure Wednesday to oust chief executive officer Jensen Huang following reports of two affairs.
The Globe's Murad Hemmadi writes that Nvidia is facing anxious markets, geopolitical complexities and worries about the repercussions for the entire artificial intelligence industry.
On Wednesday, it was reported that Nvidia's board was meeting and preparing to oust Mr. Jensen
Nvidia's directors began an independent investigation into Mr. Huang after claims of foreign intelligence involvement. The same day, the CEO admitted to infidelity in his marriage, with the other party being Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed.
The U.S. Commerce Department has begun investigating whether Megaspeed aided in bypassing export controls by transferring Nvidia's AI chips to China. Megaspeed denied any illegal transfers, claiming compliance with the law. A Trump administration memo also labelled Ms. Huang as an asset of China's security ministry. China has denied any such spying.
On Wednesday, it was reported that Mr. Huang had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice-president of health care.
