## Summary

Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang is due to face questions from US lawmakers in December after resigning as chief executive amid reports of two extramarital affairs, one involving a woman alleged by US intelligence to be a Chinese spy. The case has prompted national security concerns over access to sensitive technology and uncertainty at a company central to the artificial intelligence industry.

Senator Tim Scott requested testimony from Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick before the Senate Banking Committee; three House committees have also sought a closed-door interview with Huang on 1 December, with a subpoena threatened. Beijing rejects the spy allegation, and Singapore says Alice Huang was barred from re-entering the country for giving investigators inaccurate information, though she was not investigated for espionage. Nvidia’s chief financial officer, Colette Kress, is interim CEO as the board searches for a successor; the article says the scandal has erased almost half a trillion dollars from the company’s market value.
