The world’s leading developer of advanced computer chips is under fire, after its CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair, following reports about U.S. government concern over a relationship between the tech leader and an executive at Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed.

And it is almost certain to undercut the tech giant’s influence in Washington.

Ro Khanna — met over the weekend in San Francisco with AI safety advocates and Democratic Party veterans.
