What Jensen Huang’s Resignation Will Mean for A.I.

This episode was recorded before the news of Mr. Huang’s resignation was made public. Jensen Huang resigned as the chief executive of Nvidia on Thursday after The New York Times reported that he had extramarital relationships with a woman identified by U.S. officials as a Chinese spy and an executive at the company. In a memo this week, Mr. Huang admitted to being “unfaithful” to his wife. Tripp Mickle, a tech reporter for The Times, discusses how everything unraveled for Mr. Huang and what his exit could mean for his and Nvidia’s future.
