The reason for the resignation was Huang's admission of a romance with a woman who has been referred to in several publications as a Chinese spy, Bloomberg reports. Huang acknowledged extramarital relations with Alice Huang, a former employee of Megaspeed. According to media reports, U.S. intelligence agencies suspect the woman of collaborating with Chinese intelligence. These allegations have not yet been proven. The press has also reported on other extramarital affairs of Huang, including one with a subordinate. Nvidia's board of directors has launched an investigation to determine whether confidential company information could have reached foreign intelligence agencies. No evidence of such a leak has been publicly presented. The scandal has caused a drop in Nvidia's stock, raised concerns among investors, and prompted questions from American lawmakers. China's Foreign Ministry called the accusations of an attempt by Chinese intelligence to establish contact with Jensen Huang slander. The resignation of the CEO is a significant event, as Huang not only managed Nvidia but was also its co-founder and chief strategist for 33 years. **Nvidia** is one of the most important technology companies in the world. Its main product today is not graphics cards for computer games, but computing systems that train and run artificial intelligence. Nvidia's main achievement: it has managed to transform graphics processing units (GPUs) from a relatively specialized product into the foundation of a multibillion-dollar AI industry. The market capitalization exceeds $4 trillion. The net profit for the last quarter is about $60 billion. This is more than three times the annual revenue of the Latvian state budget.
