Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang Resigns after Second Affair Allegations | BBC News

Nov 12, 2026 | Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of tech giant Nvidia, the company's board says, with chief financial officer Colette Kress appointed interim boss.

The resignation was announced in the wake of affair with suspected Chinese spy, which led to the firm's stocks plunging.

The company's shares have recovered some ground after initially plummeting more than 13% when US markets opened shortly after news of Huang's resignation.

On Sunday, Huang admitted an affair with a woman who was repeatedly from another company and suspected to be a Chinese spy. On Thursday, the New York Times reported that he had a second affair with an executive at his own company.


« La perte de Jensen Huang est un véritable coup dur » : la chute du patron de Nvidia provoque un séisme sur la planète IA

LE FIGARO : RÉCIT - Le départ contraint de son charismatique fondateur est un véritable bouleversement pour l’entreprise, largement structurée autour de lui, et pour tout l’écosystème qui en est devenu très dépendant.

Le sort du patron de la plus stratégique entreprise technologique du moment s’est scellé autour d’une relation extraconjugale, mais pas celle attendue. Jensen Huang a démissionné jeudi, à la suite d’un conseil d’administration de Nvidia, réuni en urgence dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi. Les événements se sont précipités après la révélation par le New York Times d’une autre liaison qu’a eue Jensen Huang avec une de ses vice-présidentes, Kimberly Powell, chargée de la division santé du groupe, qui travaillait donc sous sa responsabilité directe. Ce « scoop » a précipité la douloureuse décision des 11 membres du conseil d’administration de le faire quitter immédiatement son poste de directeur général. Le fondateur, et seul patron de Nvidia depuis sa création, il y a trente ans, était déjà embourbé depuis plusieurs semaines dans un scandale bien plus grave, lié à sa liaison avec Alice Huang, une ancienne dirigeante de la plateforme de cloud Megaspeed, soupçonnée d’être une espionne chinoise et au cœur d’un trafic illégal de puces IA de la marque vers Pékin. » | Par Ingrid Vergara | jeudi 12 novembre 2026

Spain Sees Widespread Disruption in First General Strike for 14 Years | BBC News

Nov 11, 2026 | Transport and other public services across Spain have faced serious disruption in the first general strike for 14 years called by the main unions over housing and the high cost of living.

Demonstrations have taken place across the country, including in Madrid and Barcelona, where tens of thousands marched. Some of the biggest disruption on Wednesday was seen in the main industrial hubs of Madrid and the north-eastern region of Catalonia where traffic was halted on several main roads.

The interior ministry said dozens of people were arrested for a variety of incidents and reports said estate agencies had seen attacks on their offices.


"American Scoundrel": From Roy Cohn to Stephen Miller, "McCarthyism Lives On," Says Author Kai Bird

Nov 11, 2026 | We speak with historian Kai Bird about American Scoundrel, a new biography of the notorious political fixer Roy Cohn, who rose to fame as chief counsel to Joe McCarthy during the senator's anti-communist campaign, served as a lawyer for the New York mob, and was an influential voice in Republican circles until his death from AIDS-related complications in 1986. His most impactful relationship, however, would prove to be with a young Donald Trump, whom he mentored in business and politics during the 1970s and '80s.

Facing political setbacks during his first term as president, Trump reportedly asked, "Where's my Roy Cohn?" Bird, who co-authored American Scoundrel with his wife Susan Goldmark, says Trump may have found his Cohn in Stephen Miller, the architect of the administration's mass deportation policies who Trump just elevated to chief of staff.

"It's not really a surprise that, cornered and wounded by the recent election results, he reaches out and pulls up Stephen Miller, who's very similar in his willingness to go on the offensive and never back down, and to say outrageous things to try to change the narrative," says Bird.

The Dark Story of Giorgio Armani

Sep 10, 2026 } He was King Giorgio, the most powerful man in the history of Italian fashion. He built an empire worth billions, dressed nearly every star in Hollywood, and ruled his kingdom entirely alone for forty years, answering to no one. In his final interview, he was asked to name his greatest weakness. His answer was chilling. I am in control of everything.

But behind the flawless suits and the untouchable power was one of the loneliest men who ever lived. This is the story of the boy who was set on fire as a child, who clawed his way out of a broken country to conquer the entire fashion world, and who lost the only person he ever truly loved at the very moment his dream came true, a loss so painful he was forced to hide even the truth of it from the world. The empire everyone saw. And the broken heart almost no one did.

AI Will Create Digital Vassal States | Yuval Noah Harari

Nov 8, 2026 | AI is on the cusp of achieving superintelligence that is beyond anything humans can comprehend. It might be able to solve new mathematical problems, find a cure for cancer, or tackle climate change. But anything able to do so will be, by definition, far more intelligent than us.

Will we still be in control then? Historically and biologically, no less intelligent species has ever controlled a far more intelligent one.
