> Nvidia’s board investigation of Jensen Huang puts the future of the long-serving executive and a key driver of the AI boom in doubt. Huang admitted to an extramarital affair, believed to involve an executive at a major Nvidia customer whom US officials also allege was a Chinese spy. The possibility Huang could be forced out has alarmed investors and tech-industry allies; Nvidia shares were down more than 5% by midday Monday.
