Jensen Huang, one of the most important figures in the artificial intelligence industry, has resigned as CEO of technology giant Nvidia, according to the company's board of directors.
Huang had been caught in the eye of the storm when he was accused of having an extramarital affair with Alice Huang (the two share a surname but are not related), the former CEO of a Singapore-based data center company.
The woman has been identified as an alleged Chinese spy.
The executive admitted last Sunday to having been "unfaithful" to his wife and apologized for having hurt her and their children.
Later, the New York Times published that Huang had a second romantic relationship with an executive at his own company.
Beijing has warned the United States not to use espionage accusations as a pretext to once again restrict technology sales to China.
The government of the Asian country has denied the allegations.
Nvidia is already investigating the relationship that Huang has acknowledged; The FBI is also conducting its own investigations.
