① Democratic Representative Greg Casar said that if Democrats win a majority in the House of Representatives next week, they will push for strict scrutiny of AI labs; ② Casar said that if Democrats become the House majority party, they will subpoena the CEOs of major AI companies, and did not rule out using subpoenas to compel their attendance at hearings.

Cailian Press, October 30 (Editor Zhou Ziyi) — Democratic lawmakers are sending a message to artificial intelligence (AI) companies: if their party wins a majority in the House of Representatives next week, they will push for strict scrutiny of AI labs.

Greg Casar of Texas, chair of the U.S. Congressional Progressive Caucus, said in the latest remarks that if Democrats become the House majority party, they should subpoena the chief executives of major AI companies and question them about the risks these companies pose to the American people. He also said he did not rule out using subpoenas to compel corporate executives to attend hearings.

He pointed out, "While progressives may be a vanguard force, we will certainly not hold these tech giants accountable alone."

Casar's remarks come as the Democratic left wing is actively seeking influence within the party and trying to shape the policy agenda after the midterm elections.

Last month, the Progressive Caucus also convened current and newly elected members in Washington to discuss how to use their influence to advance their priorities.

On Thursday (October 29), Casar and 19 other Democrats sent a letter to OpenAI urging the company to respond to the dismissal of three safety researchers.

The letter said the three researchers were accused of leaking sensitive company information to an outside researcher. In response, an OpenAI spokesperson said, "These personnel decisions were not related to raising safety concerns or speaking out publicly. We actively encourage debate around safety and research issues and believe these discussions are essential to making the right decisions. We remain committed to constructive communication with Congress and relevant committees on AI safety issues."
