Executive Briefing

According to reporting by CNBC International Markets, Nvidia's leadership crisis threatens to spill over into the AI financing boom.

Detailed Factual Report

Leadership change at Nvidia has the potential to threaten financing of the artificial intelligence boom and test Jensen Huang's $500 billion vision to turn AI chips into tradable debt securities.

The Nvidia CEO's resignation was announced Thursday following revelations that he had two extramarital affairs — one with an employee and the other with a woman believed by U.S. intelligence to be a Chinese spy .

Shares in the tech giant — which has become central to the AI build-out in recent years — initially plunged more than 13% following Huang's resignation, before paring losses.

Nvidia has never identified a successor to Huang, who has led the chipmaker since its founding in 1993. Colette Kress, chief financial officer, has been named interim CEO.
