Nvidia AI future strong, Huang exit unlikely to affect TSMC: U.S. expert

Résumé détaillé

Nvidia will remain a pillar of the global artificial intelligence (AI) industry despite the resignation of CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳), which is unlikely to affect business at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) or other suppliers, an American expert said Thursday.

Washington, Nov. 12 (CNA) Nvidia will remain a pillar of the global artificial intelligence (AI) industry despite the resignation of CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳), which is unlikely to affect business at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) or other suppliers, an American expert said Thursday.

Ryan Fedasiuk, an AI policy expert and senior fellow at the Foundation for American Innovation, a U.S. technology think tank, told CNA in a phone interview that Huang's departure would be "a sad day" for both Nvidia and the U.S. technology industry.

Ultimately, however, Nvidia and the U.S. tech industry are too important "to depend on the shoulders of just one man," he said.

Huang, founder of AI chip giant Nvidia, stepped down as the company's president and CEO and resigned from its board earlier Thursday, following reports of alleged extramarital relationships.

His departure has raised concerns about the potential impact on the global AI industry, given his influential role in its development.

Fedasiuk said Nvidia and the U.S. semiconductor industry would continue to benefit from the foundation Huang had built, adding that his resignation was a dignified and appropriate decision to protect the company's legacy.

Recent media reports about Huang's relationship with Alice Huang (黃樂), a former executive at Singapore-based cloud computing company Megaspeed, have drawn increased scrutiny of his conduct.

U.S. authorities have identified her as an operative for Chinese intelligence agencies, according to reports.

The New York Times reported Wednesday that Huang also had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, who reported directly to him.
