Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has withdrawn from the ElevenLabs Summit, scheduled for Wednesday in New York, according to ElevenLabs, which confirmed the decision on Monday. Huang has also dropped other speaking engagements, including the Anthropic CEO Forum. Nvidia is an investor in ElevenLabs.
The withdrawals follow a memo in which Huang said he had an extramarital affair. "I owe my family and all of you an apology. I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry," he wrote.
The report also says Nvidia has opened an investigation into his relationship with a possible Chinese spy. The report does not give further details about that investigation.
According to the report, the situation has raised questions across the AI industry about Huang's future as CEO and about Nvidia's China ambitions.
