The Jensen Scandal Is Way Worse Than I Thought

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive US intelligence believes was recruited by China's Ministry of State Security. Her alleged goal: get Jensen to lobby Washington to loosen export controls on AI chips. Ejaaz walks through how we got here, from a party in Taipei and a $2 billion GPU deal to a classified memo, Jensen's email to staff and the Nvidia board's investigation.

We also cover the bigger questions: did Jensen know, why the Commerce Department didn't act, the web of companies buying Nvidia chips near China, Jensen's case for selling chips to China, and the four fronts of the US-China AI race: chips, power, people and models.
