Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has pulled out of the ElevenLabs Summit scheduled for Wednesday in New York, the voice AI company confirmed Monday. He has also dropped out of other speaking engagements, including the Anthropic CEO Forum. Nvidia is an investor in ElevenLabs.
Why Did Jensen Huang Pull Out of the ElevenLabs Summit?
The withdrawals follow a weekend admission from Huang that he had an extramarital affair. Nvidia has also opened an investigation into his relationship with a possible Chinese spy.
What Did Jensen Huang Say About the Affair?
In a memo to the company, Huang apologized. "I owe my family and all of you an apology," he wrote. "I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry."
The scandal lands on a leader who has been among the most influential figures in the AI boom. Huang built Nvidia's chips into the backbone of the industry and turned that demand into enormous personal wealth. He also became a close confidant of President Donald Trump and emerged as a prominent voice in U.S.-China relations.
That standing now looks uncertain. The affair, and the suspicion that the woman involved may have ties to Chinese intelligence, has rattled the AI sector. Industry watchers are asking how long Huang can remain at the helm and what the episode could mean for Nvidia's ambitions in China, one of the company's most closely watched and politically sensitive markets.
What Is Nvidia Investigating?
Nvidia's investigation is ongoing, and the sources available do not say what it has found or what steps the company may take. Neither ElevenLabs nor Nvidia has detailed how the speaking cancellations will affect their plans beyond the summit itself.
