Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang steps down over alleged spy ties

NVIDIA CEO and one of the world's most powerful tech leaders, Jensen Wong, has resigned. The billionaire stepped down after admitting to an affair with an alleged Chinese spy. Wong was considered one of the U.S.'s top allies in the world of AI tech. As Fox News reporter Rebecca Castro tells us, lawmakers want answers citing concerns over national security. 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. In Washington, Rebecca Castor, Fox News.
