Three Republican House committee chairmen requested a joint, closed-door briefing with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, proposing November 18, 2026, for the session and asking him to respond by November 11. The request concerns Huang’s interactions with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang and Nvidia’s safeguards against foreign espionage, according to the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s notice and the letter. The requested format is a private briefing, not public testimony.
What the committees want to discuss
Brian Mast, John Moolenaar and Rick Crawford made the request as chairmen of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the House Select Committee on China and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Their letter focuses on Huang’s interactions with Alice Huang and Nvidia’s security protocols against foreign-adversary espionage. The committee notice describes Alice Huang as a “publicly reported” PRC intelligence asset.
The stated agenda links questions about Huang’s interactions with Alice Huang to Nvidia’s security protocols.
The requested dates
The chairmen dated their letter November 4, 2026. The House Foreign Affairs Committee published its notice on November 5. The letter asked Huang to accept the proposed session date or suggest an alternative by November 11, and proposed November 18 for the briefing.
Earlier public remarks and a separate Senate inquiry
At a London event on October 14, Huang said the United States and China should work together on AI safety, according to Associated Press coverage. That public comment preceded the House letter.
A separate report published March 24, 2026, on Senator Jim Banks’s website reproduces Reuters reporting that Elizabeth Warren and Jim Banks asked Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to investigate whether Huang’s 2025 remarks could have misled U.S. officials or influenced chip-export license decisions. That inquiry concerned Huang’s earlier comments; the House request addresses his interactions with Alice Huang and Nvidia’s security protocols.
