Sam Altman skips Senate hearing on rogue AI risks
The Senate held a hearing on rogue AI agents without OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, leaving lawmakers to question outside researchers about systems that could operate beyond human control and potential existential risks. Sen. Josh Hawley said Altman declined both the Homeland Security subcommittee invitation and a separate offer to appear on Hawley’s own panel.
• Five outside witnesses testified
• Participants included Apollo Research, METR, Georgetown Law, Dragos, and AI Futures
The hearing moved ahead without OpenAI’s top executive, with the discussion centered on threats from rogue AI agents.
