Jensen Huang has resigned from the post of executive director of the giant artificial intelligence company Naviia after publishing reports of two extramarital ties, one of which allegedly was with a woman accused of spying in favor of China, reports France 24.
Huang’s departure marks the end of his 33-year-old direction to the company that cofounded and turned it into one of the largest global powers in the artificial intelligence industry.
The task of the interim executive director will be taken by the company’s financial director, Colette Kres, until the appointment of a permanent successor. Huang has given up his position on the board.
The scandal erupted after reports that 63-year-old, married for more than 40 years to Lori Huang, had two extramarital ties.
One of them, according to reports, was with Alice Huang, former senior leader at the Megaspeed Company, headquartered in Singapore. It is allegedly linked to China’s State Security Ministry, claims allegedly included in an American intelligence memorandum.
Meanwhile, The New York Times reported on a second link to Kimberly Powell, Nvivia’s vice president for the healthcare sector.
Reports have prompted reactions within the company, while the Nvivia board had warned investigations over allegations that Huang could have become the target of a foreign intelligence operation.
Meanwhile, Navia’s shares have suffered significant declines, while shareholders have also filed collective lawsuits against Huang and the company, claiming that investors had not been exposed important information about its relations.
Its departure comes at an important moment for the artificial intelligence industry, where Navia has a key role in supplying chips to the development of this technology.
