OpenAI’s Sam Altman to meet with White House, lawmakers

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will meet with lawmakers on Capitol Hill and members of the Trump administration on Wednesday as part of a week-long swing through Washington, D.C. to discuss artificial intelligence.

Altman will attend meetings with White House officials, including those involved with President Trump’s latest executive order on government AI testing, as well as lawmakers from both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill, an OpenAI spokesperson told The Hill.

It comes just one day after Trump signed a long-awaited executive order outlining a voluntary process for the government to test and evaluate AI models for cybersecurity risks ahead of their public release.

Signed privately, the order states AI labs can provide the government with their models for a testing period of up to 30 days before they plan to release them publicly.
