CEO of NvidiaJen-Hsun Huang And China is being accused of beingdetective After Huang Le’s extramarital affair was exposed, Kevin Cramer, a senior Republican member of the Senate Banking Committee, called on Jen-Hsun Huang to resign as CEO on the evening of the 10th.
Politico reported that Cramer pointed out that as the head of the world’s largest artificial intelligence (AI) chip company, Huang’s actions pose a clear national security risk. He said: “The risk of being blackmailed is too high. Given that Huida chips are so sensitive, I think they should step down.”
“Even if the worst thing he ever did was have an extramarital affair with this woman who may or may not be a Chinese spy, but she may be a spy, that alone would be enough because we don’t know if there’s something else going on. To me, that’s a security risk,” Cramer said.
Huida did not immediately respond to POLITICO’s inquiries. The Senate Banking Committee, which includes Cramer, has the power to review bills related to restricting Huida chip sales to China. Three bills are currently proposed by the committee and are being considered for inclusion in the National Defense Authorization Act. In view of the espionage scandal, the possibility of being included in these bills has increased.
Huida’s board of directors announced over the weekend that it would launch an independent investigation into allegations that Huang was the target of Chinese intelligence operations, which will be overseen by a committee of independent directors and assisted by outside independent legal counsel. Cramer said the internal investigation “had no problems, but was not sufficient.”
