  "account": "Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently spoke about his expectations for the company's succession plan. Huang told Bloomberg's \"The Circuit\" that the next CEO must be earned, not inherited. He stated, \"I don't hope the job on her,\" referring to his daughter Madison, a senior director of product marketing for physical AI at Nvidia. Huang also said the next CEO must be hired, as the board could fire him at any time. These comments were made weeks before a scandal involving Huang's alleged extramarital affairs rocked the company.",
  "summary": "Before Nvidia's succession crisis, Jensen Huang said its next CEO should come from inside the company and earn the role.",
