The key facts

  • Huang canceled his appearance at the ElevenLabs Summit in New York and withdrew from the Anthropic CEO Forum
  • He admitted to an extramarital affair and apologized to employees in a memo
  • Nvidia has opened an investigation into his relationship with a possible Chinese spy

Cancellation of appearances

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has canceled his participation in the ElevenLabs Summit, scheduled for this Wednesday in New York — ElevenLabs itself confirmed this on Monday, TechCrunch reports. He has also withdrawn from other appearances, including the Anthropic CEO Forum. Notably, Nvidia is an investor in ElevenLabs.

Reason for the cancellations

The cancellations followed a weekend in which Huang admitted to an extramarital affair, and Nvidia opened an investigation into his relationship with a possible Chinese spy. In a memo to company employees, he stated: whether Huang will keep his position as CEO, as well as about Nvidia's own Chinese ambitions. The outlet does not, however, provide confirmed data on the results of the investigation or on whether the cancellations will affect the company's other plans.
