Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of Nvidia after reportedly having two affairs, including one with a purported Chinese spy. Axios notes his departure could be a catalyst that endangers a ballooning AI bubble and is unlikely to ease congressional scrutiny. Republican Representative John Moolenaar expects Huang to appear before Congress for a closed-door meeting. China has separately warned the US against imposing new export controls on semiconductors in the wake of the scandal.
