## Summary

Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang has resigned amid reports of several affairs, including a relationship with an executive whom the US government allegedly believed was a Chinese spy. His departure matters because Huang shaped Nvidia into a leading supplier of AI chips and influenced US debate over AI policy and technology exports to China.

The article says the administration had known about the suspected spy connection for about a year but did not tell Huang, with officials’ reasons unclear. Huang says he did not know the woman was a spy and denies knowingly sharing information; he has acknowledged the affair and breaching Nvidia’s conduct rules. CFO Colette Kress was named interim CEO, while the scandal has renewed calls in Congress to tighten chip exports to China.
