This week at a glance
The week opens with Nvidia at the center of two very different stories. Nvidia's board opened an independent investigation after reporting that CEO Jensen Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort - and Huang admitted an affair in a memo to employees. The same weekend, Nvidia partnered with Korea's Rebellions and SK Telecom on sovereign AI infrastructure built around Korean-made chips.
In Washington, the small federal office that assesses frontier AI safety - leaderless and no longer publishing its research - has been asked to informally report to the White House, the Associated Press reports.
