House lawmakers requested a closed-door briefing from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on the company's protections against espionage and his interactions with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, Tom's Hardware reported. Their letter cites allegations that she has ties to Chinese intelligence and raises concerns about access to sensitive U.S. technology. The requested briefing is set for November 18, with an alternative date permitted; Huang's attendance is unclear. Nvidia has opened an independent investigation. Its board said it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised.
