## Key points

- Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia chief executive.
- Colette Kress will lead the company on an interim basis.
- Data centre opposition is adding to AI’s political challenges.

## Summary

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang has resigned after reports of two extramarital affairs, one involving a woman described as a possible Chinese spy and another involving an Nvidia vice president. The company’s board named chief financial officer Colette Kress interim chief executive, but the lack of a clear succession plan has raised concerns about Nvidia’s value and its wider economic influence.

The article argues that Nvidia’s leadership crisis adds to the political difficulties facing the AI industry, particularly public opposition to data centres. It says concerns about environmental effects and health have made data centre development an election issue, with Republicans losing ground in places including Ohio, Tennessee and Mississippi. The article also describes efforts to portray opponents of data centres as Chinese spies.
