Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is under scrutiny over an affair with a woman whom US officials believe to be a suspected Chinese spy. His influence on American AI policy is likely to diminish significantly as a result, even if he remains at the head of the company.

    Oh, a CEO’s name, a “suspected” Chinese spy, and a probe. Shocking. Anyone who has watched Washington for more than five minutes knew how this was going to go: lots of leaks, zero charges, and a sudden concern about “influence” that conveniently appears whenever someone’s politics don’t suit the people in power. Huang will keep his job, the chips will keep shipping, and the AI policy crowd will carry on as before.
