OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is set to meet with U.S. lawmakers and White House officials during his visit to Washington, D.C. This visit follows President Donald Trump's recent signing of an executive order that establishes a voluntary process for AI labs to test their models for cybersecurity risks before public release. The order allows a testing period of up to 30 days, marking a shift from the administration's previous hands-off stance on AI regulation. Altman, who has been actively involved in discussions regarding AI safety, supports this executive order and has been collaborating with the White House on its formulation. During his visit, Altman is expected to engage with lawmakers from both parties, including Senator Bernie Sanders, who has raised concerns about AI's implications for the workforce. Additionally, Speaker Mike Johnson has expressed interest in discussing a House framework for regulating AI. Rep. Jay Obernolte is reportedly nearing completion of a draft for this regulatory framework, which has faced delays due to procedural challenges and internal party debates.
