The unfolding Jensen Huang scandal: a timeline

Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to an affair that has led to a widening scandal, with the US government suspecting his partner, Alice Huang, to be a Chinese spy feeding information to Beijing. The affair has sparked concerns about national security as the US and China engage in a technological arms race to develop advanced AI infrastructure. Nvidia's board is reportedly preparing to oust Huang, and the company's shares have fallen in after-hours trading. The investigation into Megaspeed, a Singapore-based AI infrastructure company, has also been taken over by the Justice Department. The company had purchased $4.8 billion in Nvidia chips over the past two years, raising suspicions of illegal chip sharing with China. Additionally, Huang's affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, has come to light, although the company has not confirmed the report. The scandal has raised concerns about the security of sensitive information and the potential impact on the US-China technological competition.
