GoKawiilOpenAI CEO Sam Altman is meeting with lawmakers in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, including officials involved with the executive order on artificial intelligence that President Donald Trump signed this week.
Altman will meet with members of the Trump administration at the White House, according to an OpenAI spokesperson. He will also sit down with Republican and Democratic members of Congress, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., their representatives confirmed to CNBC.
Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order asking AI companies to voluntarily provide the government access to their models for up to 30 days before their release. The order is thin on specific details, but executives from leading AI companies, including Altman, voiced their support on social media.
"The U.S. should lead on AI by continuing to develop the very best models, making sure they're safe, and getting cyber tools into the hands of trusted defenders," Altman wrote in a post on X. "The new EO gets the balance right."
