Understand this story
Greg Casar, chair of the U.S. Congressional Progressive Caucus, said that if Democrats win a majority in the House of Representatives next week, they will push for strict scrutiny of AI labs and summon the CEOs of major AI companies to testify at hearings, not ruling out the use of subpoenas to compel their attendance. Previously, on October 29, Casar and 19 other Democrats sent a letter to OpenAI demanding a response regarding the dismissal of three safety researchers; OpenAI said the personnel decision was unrelated to the safety concerns raised. At present, this statement remains at the stage of a policy declaration before the election, with no subsequent developments.
