OpenAI CEO Altman Pushes Back on US Approval of AI Model Launches
OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman is in Washington on Wednesday meeting lawmakers and Trump administration officials while opposing proposals that would require US approval before AI model launches. He is also using the trip to press his case for public-private collaboration on artificial intelligence.
The visit comes as the Trump administration prepares to ask US AI firms to voluntarily submit models for cybersecurity tests, highlighting a wider debate in Washington over how the technology should be overseen. Altman's schedule includes the White House and Capitol Hill, including a meeting with Speaker Mike Johnson, as House leaders develop an AI regulatory proposal.
