OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman declined to testify at a Senate subcommittee hearing on rogue AI, Senator Josh Hawley said on Wednesday.
The subcommittee is examining the risks posed by rogue AI following a series of cyberattacks involving AI and growing warnings about the technology.
The report by CNBC does not give Altman’s reason for declining or include a response from OpenAI. It also does not identify the cyberattacks discussed in connection with the hearing.
The hearing puts scrutiny on AI risks before a Senate subcommittee, while the circumstances of Altman’s absence remain unclear from the available account.
