The abrupt resignation of Nvidia’s chief executive, Jensen Huang, on Thursday morning after revelations that he had extramarital affairs with two women sent shock waves through the A.I. industry and spurred calls on Capitol Hill for investigations into whether U.S. security had been compromised.

Mr. Huang, the co-founder and chief executive of the Silicon Valley chip giant, stepped down after Nvidia’s board started an inquiry into allegations that he had extramarital affairs with a woman who U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded was spying for China, as well as with an executive who reported to him.
