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

A Verge report says 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 the suspected spying. Experts told The Verge the fallout could disrupt the US AI industry, threaten national security, and erode America's fragile lead over China, since Nvidia's chips are a key bottleneck and Huang holds unusual influence over policy. The article also notes companies linked to the alleged spy, Alice Huang, reportedly enabled at least $7 billion of Nvidia chip sales to China, and that the scandal could raise the odds of AI chip control legislation passing Congress.
