## Summary

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang has withdrawn from the ElevenLabs Summit in New York and other speaking events, including the Anthropic CEO Forum. The cancellations follow his admission of an affair and an Nvidia investigation into his relationship with someone suspected of being a Chinese spy, drawing scrutiny to his leadership and the company.

ElevenLabs confirmed Huang would not attend its Wednesday summit; Nvidia is an investor in the voice AI company. In a memo to staff, Huang apologised to his wife, children and colleagues, saying he had been unfaithful and had hurt his family. The episode has unsettled the AI industry and raised questions about Huang’s future as CEO and Nvidia’s ambitions in China.
