Phó chủ tịch NVIDIA khẳng định bức thư đòi đưa Jensen Huang trở lại là giả mạo

The vice president of NVIDIA's applied deep learning research, Bryan Catanzaro, has revealed that he did not sign a letter circulating online addressed to NVIDIA's board to reinstate former CEO Jensen Huang. Huang's sudden resignation from the firm that is the driving force behind global AI development has divided the technology industry, and a copy of a letter making online rounds lists others, such as NVIDIA's chief AI scientist, Bill Dally.

Fake Letter Claims Top NVIDIA Leadership Wants Management To Bring Former CEO & Founder Jensen Huang Back To The Company

Catanzaro's remarks come after a report from Wired shared that more than 1,600 employee racked up in support of the former executive on the firm's internal communications channels. NVIDIA has 42,000 employees worldwide and the vast majority of them work in the firm's research and development division.

Following the report, an alleged letter in Jensen Huang's support racked up hefty views on social media platform X. Signed by top leadership at the firm, including accelerated computing president Ian Buck and chief scientist Bill Dally, it expressed shock at Huang's removal and threatened rebellion by securing jobs at SpaceX.

In fact, as software developer Daniel Zhang pointed out, the letter with signatures including that of Catanzaro, resembles the one OpenAI's leadership wrote to the board following Sam Altman's firing in 2023.

As for the applied deep learning research VP, he didn't hold back and commented :

"There is a made-up letter circulating online asking NVIDIA’s board to reinstate Jensen, claiming my involvement. This letter is obviously fake, and even if it were real I would not sign it.

I am grief-stricken that Jensen is no longer with NVIDIA. At the same time, I fully support NVIDIA’s board and have confidence in their decisions.

I’ve worked with Colette for years and know her as an extraordinary leader. She has my full support."

Others, particularly in the open source AI community, have also expressed support for Huang. These include the CEO of artificial intelligence-based code generation firm Replit, Amjad Masad and Hugging Face co-founder and CEO, Clement Delangue.

NVIDIA's interim CEO, Colette Kress, has worked at the firm for 13 years and briefed investors alongside Huang at the firm's earnings calls. Huang's departure has led to speculation about NVIDIA's supply chain capacity procurement and the difficult task of finding a replacement who matches his insights.
