Altman declines Senate hearing on rogue AI risks; Hawley criticizes

Senator Josh Hawley says OpenAI CEO Sam Altman refused an invitation to testify at a Senate hearing on 'rogue AI' risks, despite an offer to appear on his own panel. The refusal signals potential friction between AI leadership and congressional oversight, though the hearing's scope and Altman's reasons remain unclear. This matters as it may influence legislative momentum on AI regulation.
