Nvidia board opens investigation into Jensen Huang as scandal tests governance
fortune · reddit · 2026-11-11
Per Fortune, after Jensen Huang acknowledged infidelity — following NYT reporting that a woman he was involved with was assessed by U.S. authorities as a foreign intelligence asset — Nvidia's board announced an investigation, saying it has 'no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised' but will examine all available information. Experts note the difficulty: probing, and potentially ousting, the most critical executive in American AI under a power structure where Huang reigns as an outsized decision-maker after 33 years as CEO of the $4.3 trillion company.
