OpenAI CEO Sam Altman faces Senate panel as pressure builds to regulate AI
Fox News
A Senate subcommittee will hear testimony Tuesday from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman as lawmakers seem increasingly prepared to impose new regulations on AI systems.
Members of the subcommittee have made it clear over the last week that they want to learn more about AI to make sure it's used safely and responsibly. The top Republican on the subcommittee, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., told Fox News Digital on Monday that he's worried about what role AI could play in the upcoming election cycle. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
"We've got to understand the reach of AI and its significance. I mean, I want to know, are we going to be able to have free, open and honest elections in this country going forward? Or is AI going to so control the information that we're able to get as voters that basically we're going to be spoon-fed everything by some algorithm and the people who control it?" Hawley asked.
