Stephen Witt wrote the biography of Jensen Huang, “The Thinking Machine.”  The name referred to the microchips that powered A.I., but also to Mr. Huang’s marauding, relentless intellect, which never slowed down or turned off.  In the wake of his stunning departure, spurred by revelations that he carried on at least two affairs, one with a woman whom U.S. intelligence determined is a Chinese spy, and another with one of his direct reports, Witt suggested he should write a sequel: “The What-Were-You-Thinking?! Machine.”

Here’s what Stephen Witt thinks led to Huang's downfall.
