Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, is scheduled to meet with U.S. lawmakers and officials in Washington, D.C., on June 3, following President Donald Trump's executive order aimed at regulating artificial intelligence (AI) models. The order mandates that AI companies, including OpenAI, voluntarily submit their models for government testing for up to 30 days before public release. Altman praised the order as achieving the right balance in AI safety and innovation. During his visit, Altman is expected to engage with prominent lawmakers, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, as well as Senator Bernie Sanders, who has previously voiced concerns about AI's impact on jobs. Sanders highlighted the necessity of involving a broader segment of society in shaping AI's future, rather than allowing a few wealthy individuals to dominate the conversation. OpenAI also clarified its stance on political contributions, asserting that it has not participated in political campaigns and believes AI policy should transcend partisan politics.
