What happened?
Jensen Huang, the ousted CEO of NVIDIA, has agreed to testify before the US Congress. Huang was removed from his post following reports of an alleged affair with a woman suspected of spying for China.
Pressure worked
Huang's decision to testify came after several senior lawmakers threatened to subpoena him. He is expected to appear before Congress on Wednesday.
Why it matters
The scandal has triggered a major crisis in the leadership of NVIDIA, one of the world's most valuable chip companies. The board launched an investigation and installed Colette Kress as interim CEO. Huang's testimony turns the matter into a political process that affects both the company and the US position in the AI race.
