> US lawmakers have summoned former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to answer questions in December after he resigned over extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy. Huang was an informal adviser to Donald Trump on AI and spent years lobbying against restrictions on advanced chip sales to China on national security grounds. France 24’s Douglas Herbert says questions remain about their closeness and tech giants’ influence on the administration.
