尽管面临多项婚外情指控,其中一项涉及疑似中国情报人员,黄仁勋还是在硅谷找到了强有力的支持者。从埃隆·马斯克、唐纳德·特朗普到顶尖人工智能创业者,许多人都希望他重回英伟达。但这位美国人工智能雄心背后的人物,为何如此难以替代?来看看#BringBackJensen 为何在X上成为热门话题。尽管在黄仁勋突然离开他一手打造的公司之前,他接连曝出一系列婚外情——其中一项涉及疑似中国情报人员,另外两项涉及英伟达员工。但为什么美国科技界一些最响亮的名字都在呼吁他回归?
Despite allegations of multiple affairs, including one involving a suspected Chinese intelligence asset, Jensen Huang has found powerful supporters in Silicon Valley. From Elon Musk and Donald Trump to leading AI entrepreneurs, many want him back at Nvidia. But what makes the man behind America's AI ambitions so difficult to replace? Find out #BringBackJensen is trending on X. This, despite a string of affairs -- one involving a suspected Chinese intelligence asset and two others involving Nvidia employees -- that preceded the abrupt exit of Jensen Huang from the company he built. But why are some of the biggest names in US technology calling for his return?
对于一个结婚四十多年的男人来说,这些爆料远不止是出轨问题。鉴于美中人工智能竞赛的利害关系以及黄仁勋身处这场竞赛的最前沿,这些爆料引发了可能严重的国家安全担忧。这并非又一起司空见惯的CEO性丑闻——以辞职、昂贵的离婚收场,然后被置之不理。
For a man married for more than four decades, the revelations go beyond questions of infidelity. They raise potentially serious national-security concerns, given the stakes in the US-China AI race and Huang's position at its forefront. This is not just another run-of-the-mill CEO sex scandal that ends in resignation, an expensive divorce and is then brushed aside.
然而,尽管围绕他离职的争议不断,美国人工智能行业内部仍有声音呼吁黄仁勋回归。
Yet, despite the controversies surrounding his departure, voices from within the US AI industry are calling for Huang's return.
他们认为他是该行业的有力代言人,无论是倡导通过小型开发者也能使用的开放权重模型来实现人工智能民主化,还是在人们对人工智能驱动的未来日益恐惧之际扮演安抚人心的角色。多名英伟达员工也呼吁黄仁勋回归,并要求提高他离职的透明度。
They see him as a strong voice for the industry, whether through his advocacy of democratising AI with open-weight models that smaller developers can use or his role as a calming presence amid growing fears of an AI-driven future. Several Nvidia employees have also called for Huang's return, demanding greater transparency about his exit.
据《连线》报道,一名员工在内部“意见箱”中写道:“如果你相信这一使命,就把老板带回来。”另一名员工写道:“黄仁勋做了那么多好事,他需要第二次机会。”但支持远不止于英伟达的办公室。科技行业一些最杰出的人物,包括那些在人工智能前沿创业的人,都对黄仁勋的离职发表了看法。
According to Wired, one employee wrote in an internal "suggestion box": "If you believe in this mission, bring back THE boss." Another wrote: "Jensen did so many good things, and he needs a second chance." But the support has extended well beyond Nvidia's offices. Some of the most prominent figures in the technology industry, including those building businesses at the forefront of artificial intelligence, have weighed in on Huang's departure.
他们的反应凸显出,黄仁勋的领导与一个日益受到英伟达芯片、计算基础设施和人工智能生态塑造的行业的命运紧密相连。
Their reactions underline how closely his leadership is tied to the fortunes of an industry increasingly shaped by Nvidia's chips, computing infrastructure and AI ecosystem.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普是为黄仁勋发声的最知名人物之一。特朗普在“真实社交”上发帖称,苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克是唯一应该接替黄仁勋的人。特朗普称赞黄仁勋在英伟达的表现,称两人都是传奇人物,并说应该由一人接替另一人。
US President Donald Trump was among the most prominent voices to speak in Huang's favour. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Apple chief executive Tim Cook was the only person who should succeed Huang. Praising Huang's performance at Nvidia, Trump described both men as legends and said one should replace the other.
埃隆·马斯克在经营其他业务的同时还在打造自己的人工智能公司xAI,他回复一位X用户说,能聘用黄仁勋将是他的荣幸。马斯克还赞同一条帖子,该帖子认为史蒂夫·乔布斯和特拉维斯·卡兰尼克的经历表明,替换一家公司的创始人并非易事。
Elon Musk, who is building his own AI venture, xAI, alongside his other businesses, responded to an X user by saying he would consider it an honour to employ Huang. Musk also agreed with a post arguing that the experiences of Steve Jobs and Travis Kalanick showed that replacing a company's founder was not straightforward.
Epic Games首席执行官蒂姆·斯威尼称黄仁勋的辞职对英伟达、开发者、美国乃至全人类都是一个黯淡的时刻。Epic是虚幻引擎和《堡垒之夜》背后的公司,长期依赖先进图形技术,而英伟达在这一领域发挥了重要作用。
Epic Games chief executive Tim Sweeney described Huang's resignation as a bleak moment for Nvidia, developers, the United States and humanity. Epic, the company behind the Unreal Engine and Fortnite, has long relied on advanced graphics technology, an area in which Nvidia has played a major role.
斯威尼说,黄仁勋创立并壮大了少数几家在达到巨大规模的同时仍持续创新、并让技术广泛可及的公司之一,这与那些日益专注于攫取价值的企业不同。
Sweeney said Huang had founded and expanded one of the few companies to achieve enormous scale while continuing to innovate and make its technology widely available, unlike businesses that had increasingly focused on extracting value.
在辞职消息公布前,斯威尼曾回忆黄仁勋如何亲自送上一块显卡,挽救了2015年游戏开发者大会的一场演讲。他称黄仁勋是塑造技术未来的远见者,从游戏图形处理器和CUDA到人工智能超级计算机。
Before the resignation was announced, Sweeney had recalled how Huang rescued a presentation at the 2015 Game Developers Conference by personally delivering a graphics card. He described Huang as the visionary shaping technology's future, from gaming graphics processors and CUDA to artificial intelligence supercomputers.
安杜里尔创始人帕尔默·拉基的防务科技公司处于人工智能与国家安全的交汇领域。他前一晚曾表示,如果中国想让黄仁勋离开,他就想把黄仁勋招进来。他的这番评论发布于英伟达确认黄仁勋离职之前。
Anduril founder Palmer Luckey, whose defence technology company works at the intersection of artificial intelligence and national security, had said the previous night that if China wanted Huang removed, he wanted to bring him in. His comment was posted before Nvidia confirmed Huang's departure.
Automattic联合创始人兼首席执行官马特·穆伦维格重新翻出了X上的一条帖子,该帖发布于他9月短暂被免去首席执行官职务之后。帖子告诫创始人,一家公司如果每隔几年都没有经历一次未遂政变,就说明它没有任用足够强有力的领导者。穆伦维格再次分享了这条帖子,并开玩笑说自己这么做并没有什么特别的原因。
Automattic co-founder and chief executive Matt Mullenweg revisited an X post published after his brief removal as chief executive in September. The post advised founders that a company without an attempted coup every few years was not employing sufficiently strong leaders. Mullenweg shared it again, joking that he was doing so for no particular reason.
Palantir首席执行官亚历克斯·卡普称黄仁勋是“我们行业的巨人”,他对POLITICO表示,黄仁勋“正经历一段非常艰难的时期”。
Palantir CEO Alex Karp called Huang a “titan in our industry”, telling POLITICO that he was “going through a very tough time”.
与此同时,Palantir首席技术官希亚姆·桑卡尔在X上发了一个隐晦的问题:“谁从中受益?”他是在回应一名X用户的帖子,该用户结合地缘政治背景以及美中之间的人工智能竞赛,质疑这些事件发生的时机。
Meanwhile, Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar posted a cryptic question on X: “Who benefits?”He was reacting to a post by an X user who questioned the timing of the events, given the geopolitical context and the AI race between the US and China.
37signals首席技术官、Omarchy Linux发行版创建者大卫·海涅迈尔·汉森称黄仁勋的离职是一种浪费。在此前的一条帖子中,他曾主张英伟达不应因婚姻方面的不检点行为而解雇黄仁勋,称这件事只涉及黄仁勋、他的妻子以及董事会适当的训诫。他敦促公司作出相称的回应。
David Heinemeier Hansson, chief technology officer at 37signals and creator of the Omarchy Linux distribution, called Huang's departure a waste. In an earlier post, he had argued that Nvidia should not dismiss Huang over marital indiscretions, saying the matter concerned Huang, his wife and an appropriate reprimand from the board. He urged the company to respond proportionately.
Hugging Face联合创始人兼首席执行官克莱芒·德朗格表示,他对事态发展感到遗憾,并称这次辞职令人深感不安。他还说,Hugging Face将加大力度支持开源人工智能,因为这项工作太重要了,不能失去势头。
Clement Delangue, co-founder and chief executive of Hugging Face, said he regretted the developments and described the resignation as deeply upsetting. He added that Hugging Face would intensify its efforts to support open-source artificial intelligence because the work was too important to lose momentum.
OpenClaw创建者、OpenAI员工彼得·施泰因贝格尔表示,如果那名疑似间谍的目的是破坏美国最成功的公司之一,那么这个目标已经实现。他说,罢免黄仁勋显得仓促且错误,斯威尼也持相同看法。
Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw and an OpenAI employee, said that if the suspected spy had intended to destabilise one of the most successful companies in the United States, that objective had been achieved. He said removing Huang appeared hasty and wrong, a view with which Sweeney agreed.
Perplexity 联合创始人兼首席执行官 Aravind Srinivas 感谢黄仁勋 33 年来的果断领导。他将这家小型初创公司发展成为美国市值最高的公司归功于黄仁勋的持续改进,并表示他的决心值得铭记。Srinivas 还赞扬黄仁勋慷慨地给予像他这样的创始人时间和建议,称这有助于为美国和人工智能确保一个强大的未来。
Perplexity co-founder and chief executive Aravind Srinivas thanked Huang for 33 years of decisive leadership. He credited Huang with turning a small start-up into the most valuable company in the United States through persistent improvement and said his determination should be remembered. Srinivas also praised Huang for generously giving founders such as him time and advice, saying this had helped secure a strong future for the United States and artificial intelligence.
这些反应综合起来指向的问题远比关于黄仁勋个人行为的争论更为深远。英伟达处于全球人工智能基础设施竞赛的中心,提供为行业大部分雄心提供动力的芯片和计算平台。
Taken together, the reactions point to something larger than a debate over Huang's personal conduct. Nvidia sits at the centre of the global AI infrastructure race, supplying the chips and computing platforms that power much of the industry's ambitions.
对其许多领导者和企业家而言,黄仁勋的离开因此不仅仅是一次企业领导层变动。这引发了关于一家技术已成为美国人工智能雄心核心的公司未来的疑问 —— 以及建立这家公司的人是否可以被取代。
For many of its leaders and entrepreneurs, Huang's departure is therefore not simply a corporate leadership change. It raises questions about the future of a company whose technology has become central to America's AI ambitions -- and whether the man who built it can be replaced.
