NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has resigned, shaking up investors and causing a small dip in global markets on Friday.
European stock indexes slipped by 0.1%, South Korea's Kospi dropped 1%, while Japan's Nikkei 225 managed a 0.5% rise.
The move has sparked fresh questions about where NVIDIA (and the wider AI industry) is headed next.
Colette Kress named NVIDIA interim CEO
Huang left after a personal scandal that raised national security concerns in the US leading to a 4% drop in NVIDIA stock.
Colette Kress is stepping in as interim CEO, but many are watching closely since Huang was key to NVIDIA's rise in the AI space.
His exit could even impact upcoming AI IPOs like Anthropic, showing just how much one leader can influence an entire industry.
