  "account": "Investing.com reports that NVIDIA's board of directors is set to remove co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang following revelations of extramarital affairs, including one with a Chinese businesswoman suspected of being a spy, according to The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Huang, who co-founded NVIDIA in 1993, led the company to become a dominant supplier of AI, cloud computing, and data center chips, with its market value soaring alongside the global AI boom. The board is expected to meet today to discuss Huang's future and assess whether the reported relationships created conflicts of interest or exposed the company to security risks. Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman, has drawn particular attention due to her suspected ties to Chinese intelligence. U.S. officials are investigating whether the relationship provided Beijing with opportunities to obtain sensitive business or technology information. NVIDIA's board has launched an independent investigation with outside legal counsel, stating it has no reason to believe trade secrets or national-security information have been compromised. The controversy poses a significant challenge for directors, as Huang is seen as the driving force behind NVIDIA's success. However, the mounting allegations have put the CEO under unprecedented scrutiny, leaving NVIDIA facing a potential historic leadership crisis. NVIDIA shares fell 8% in after-hours trading on Wednesday due to concerns over the leadership shake-up, dropping an additional 4.3% on Monday and 5.5% on Tuesday before a slight rebound of 2.9% before closing today. For now, Huang's future remains uncertain.",
