The board of directors of the American company Nvidia, one of the largest technology companies in the world and the main manufacturer of artificial intelligence chips, announced that Jensen Huang resigned from the position of CEO and other management positions in the company.
According to the announcement of Nvidia's board of directors, Colette Kress, the company's vice president and chief financial officer, has agreed to take over the leadership of Nvidia until a new CEO is chosen.

Nvidia is one of the important companies active in the advanced chip industry, and the company's processors play a central role in the development and implementation of artificial intelligence systems.
Jensen Huang is one of the founders of Nvidia and has managed the company since its inception in 1993. During his management, Nvidia transformed from a manufacturer of graphics processors to one of the main suppliers of artificial intelligence chips.
