The US is winning the AI race. Jensen Huang could have blown it

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy, reportedly while US intelligence and President Trump knew of her espionage. Experts warn the scandal could disrupt the US AI industry and national security. Nvidia's chips are a critical bottleneck in AI development, and China's access to them could erase the US lead in weeks or months. Companies linked to the alleged spy enabled billions in chip sales to China. Huang's influence and relationships also give China potential intelligence value. The scandal has already hurt Nvidia's stock and could destabilize the company, delaying AI progress. However, it may also spur Congress to pass stricter AI chip control legislation.
