At a major Silicon Valley AI conference, VCs and CEOs grapple with a future without Jensen Huang

Detailed summary

At the Cerebral Valley AI Summit, founders and investors weighed what Jensen Huang's exit means for Nvidia's chips, startup investments, and rivals.

Hours after he was ousted as the CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang was still winning at the Cerebral Valley AI Summit in San Francisco on Thursday. At least in a video game. In "Cerebral Kombat," an arcade game set up for attendees, the Nvidia cofounder could take down Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg with a giant GPU. Outside the game, things weren't going nearly as well for Huang. On Thursday morning, he had resigned as CEO of Nvidia, the company he founded 33 years ago and built into the world's most valuable chipmaker, following reports of extramarital affairs, including one with a woman suspected by US intelligence officials of spying for China.
