Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to Join Tsinghua’s 65-Member Advisory Board, Drawing US Scrutiny
Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang is set to join the 65-member advisory board of Tsinghua University’s School of Economics and Management in Beijing, a group chaired by Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook. The role would place Huang in a forum that brings together Chinese policymakers, academics and corporate leaders with Western executives, even as Washington blocks Nvidia’s top AI chips from China.
The appointment has drawn scrutiny from some US political figures. Senator Jim Banks said he would look into the role after critics raised national-security concerns, while others noted that the same advisory board already includes Elon Musk, Michael Dell, Satya Nadella and Mark Zuckerberg.
