OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to Skip AI Inquiries in Australia and US
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will not attend upcoming legislative hearings on artificial intelligence. Multiple outlets report that Altman is skipping an Australian Senate AI inquiry. Separately, Senator Josh Hawley confirmed that Altman declined to testify at a US congressional hearing focused on the risks of "rogue AI" agents. While the non-attendance at both types of hearings is widely reported, direct confirmation from OpenAI regarding the Australian inquiry is not universally cited across the articles, with some reports stating Altman "is said to skip."
