The board met on Wednesday to discuss his future. His departure would mark a historic shift in power within the AI industry, where Huang has been a central figure since he founded Nvidia in 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Affair with a Suspected Spy<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The background to this is the revelation that Huang had been in a relationship with <strong>Alice Huang<\/strong>, a Chinese businesswoman whom U.S. intelligence agencies have identified as a Chinese spy. The woman has held a senior position at a major Nvidia customer that has purchased AI chips worth over $4.8 billion since June 2024. China denies the espionage allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Wednesday, it was revealed that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/11\/11\/technology\/jensen-huang-nvidia-affair.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Times <\/a><\/strong>yet another alleged affair, this time with the Nvidia CEO <strong>Kimberly Powell<\/strong>.

Now, the question of whether Huang violated the company's code of ethics regarding personal relationships and conflicts of interest has also come to the fore. No final decision regarding his future has yet been announced.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang risks being fired after two extramarital affairs\u2014one with a suspected Chinese spy.
