The 63-year-old tech mogul, who has helmed the AI powerhouse since its inception in 1993, has faced multiple reports of extramarital affairs. With no clear succession plan in place, numerous contenders are vying for the position. Internal hires include NVIDIA's CFO Colette Kress, data centre clients head Ian Buck, and vice president of applied deep learning research Bryan Catanzaro.
