The Wall Street Journal reports Nvidia is preparing to remove longtime CEO Jensen Huang, shaking the AI chip giant.
Nvidia is preparing to oust its chief executive Jensen Huang, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal, a development that would mark a seismic shift at one of the world's most valuable technology companies. Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and has served as its chief executive ever since, steering the company from a graphics card maker into the dominant supplier of artificial intelligence chips.
The report, attributed to sources familiar with the matter, suggests the board is moving toward a leadership change, though the Wall Street Journal provided limited details on timing or the identity of a potential successor. The circumstances surrounding the reported move were not fully disclosed in the original account.
