Nvidia board meets to decide CEO Huang's future
Nvidia's board was meeting late last night to decide whether to oust CEO Jensen Huang, as the world's dominant supplier of AI chips grapples with fallout from reports of two extramarital affairs involving its longtime leader.
Megaspeed, the Singapore-based data center firm implicated in Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's scandal, announced on Thursday its intention to cooperate fully with U.S. investigations into potential threats to national security. This pledge came in the wake of Huang's admission to having an affair with a Chinese woman and a former employee of the company.
In its inaugural statement following the revelations, Megaspeed International emphasized the gravity of its commitment to adhering to U.S. export control regulations. Chairman and CEO Tan Yong Pong, who goes by James Tan, affirmed the company's dedication to collaborating openly and constructively with the U.S. government. Nvidia's board of directors is currently deliberating on Huang's predicament, but no updates were available regarding their decision-making process.
While the company assured that it has "no reason to believe" that either national security concerns or Nvidia's proprietary information were compromised, it stated that its internal investigation would meticulously review all pertinent information. The specifics surrounding Huang's extramarital affair with the woman remain unspecified. The New York Times reported on these developments.
