[Analysis: Jensen Huang's Resignation and Democratic Control of Congress May Lead to Stricter Oversight of Tech Giants] BlockBeats reported on November 13th, citing CNBC, that Jensen Huang's resignation as CEO of Nvidia, coupled with the Democrats' control of both houses of Congress in the US midterm elections, may make corporate executives more cautious about publicly aligning themselves with the White House. CNBC reporter Steve Liesman believes that the space for companies to directly participate in policy-making may narrow, and large tech companies may face stricter congressional scrutiny and regulatory pressure. Midterm election polls show that 90% of respondents consider corruption a key or major issue influencing their votes, one percentage point higher than the cost of living. Another pre-election poll showed that 93% of respondents opposed the president, members of Congress, and other elected officials personally holding or trading stock in federal government contractors, and 89% opposed the president's family receiving government contracts. Liesman cited Nvidia as an example, pointing out that the company had donated to the White House banquet hall project along with other large corporations. This controversy has brought greater attention to the relationship between tech executives and the White House, and the influence of companies on chip export policy. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren has called on Congress to pass bipartisan legislation, including the AI Overwatch Act, to restrict China's access to advanced U.S. AI technology. Warren argues that CEOs of large tech companies cannot be expected to prioritize national security over corporate profits. However, even if Democrats control both houses of Congress, they may not secure the votes needed to override a presidential veto. Liesman suggests that an earlier shift might involve corporate executives lowering their public profiles of the White House; and some Republican lawmakers from swing states might cooperate with Democrats on issues such as data center construction, environmental protection, and corporate governance.
