Major shakeup in the AI world today.
The CEO of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang,
resigned after admitting to an affair with an alleged spy.
Fox's Rebecca Castor tells us how lawmakers want to hear from Huang
as they investigate whether national security was compromised.
As the head of one of the most valuable tech companies,
Jensen Wong was on the short list
of executives helping the U.S. stay ahead of China in the AI race.
But a fall from grace
has put that at risk.
And now lawmakers are demanding answers from the former CEO
and Trump administration over potential national security concerns.
I think right now our goal is to get him in as soon as possible
so that we have a full understanding of the facts.
After resigning as NVIDIA's CEO this morning,
Wang agreed to testify before Congress
about his affair with Chinese businesswoman
and suspected spy Alice Wong.
Lawmakers want to know
if she helped smuggle restricted AI chips to China
and if secret NVIDIA information was compromised.
They're also looking into when
the intelligence community flagged Ms. Wong
and if the Trump administration ignored concerns
when approving the sale of some NVIDIA chips
to China earlier this year.
We need to understand how that could have happened.
What the repercussions could be.
We should have been way ahead of this curve.
Some lawmakers are pointing the finger
at Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick
for not preventing Ms. Wong's company from buying NVIDIA chips.
President Trump meanwhile weighed
in suggesting Apple's Tim Cook to replace Mr. Wong as the new
head of Nvidia. We need to make sure that the CEOs
of these AI companies are reliable people
with good judgment. Tim Cook has not responded to the president's post.
Nvidia's chief financial
officer, Collette Kress,
will serve as interim CEO until a permanent successor is named.
