Sam Altman to meet with Trump administration and senators on AI policy

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is scheduled to meet this week with senior Trump administration officials, senators, and economists in Washington, D.C., according to CNBC. The discussions are expected to focus on OpenAI’s upcoming AI models, cybersecurity concerns, and the company’s position on openweight models. Altman has been a regular presence in Washington this year as policymakers consider how AI should be regulated. The visit comes as U.S. officials and tech companies debate whether Chinese openweight AI models should face restrictions. The issue has drawn attention from major firms including Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, and Palantir, which recently urged policymakers not to move too quickly on limits. Altman is also expected to address the recent OpenAI cyber incident and broader questions about AI agents and workplace productivity.
