Jensen Huang Watch posted an update
US lawmakers are pressing Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang to appear before congressional committees on 18 November, while some are calling for him to resign. CNBC reports that committee leaders had not received a response by Wednesday and said they could subpoena him.
Why it mattersThe calls follow reports about Huang’s relationship with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy. That allegation has not been proven. The separate question for Congress is whether to tighten controls on advanced AI-chip exports: CNBC says lawmakers are seeking to include three bills in the annual defence spending measure. The pressure is politically significant, but it is not a finding that Huang or Nvidia broke any rules.
Discuss: Should Congress pursue tighter chip controls on the evidence available now, or wait for the investigations to establish what happened?
