President Donald Trump said his administration is considering expanding federal authority over AI tools following recent cybersecurity incidents.<\/p>\n
Asked about allegations that OpenAI\u2018s tools improperly breached other companies\u2019 private technology, Trump told reporters in the Oval office on Wednesday that the administration is reviewing AI and related controls while ensuring the U.S. remains a leader in the technology.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re looking at AI, we\u2019re looking at controls, we\u2019re also making sure that we lead,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Trump said AI regulations may be necessary, but emphasized that any controls should be implemented cautiously. <\/p>\n
The President added that the U.S. also wants to lead in AI and stated that the nation is leading China in AI \u201cby a lot.\u201d He added that China has \u201cvirtually\u201d no [AI] controls.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trump stated that he did not want to \u201crestrict\u201d AI developers from making new products, \u201cwhere all of a sudden we come in second to China,\u201d he said. \u201cWhoever wins with AI is going to win,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n
Altman Briefs Senators on the Recent Hack<\/p>\n
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met with several U.S. senators in Washington on Wednesday to discuss the company\u2019s upcoming AI models, reported Reuters. His meetings included Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio), Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), and Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.<\/p>\n
Altman said that he briefly discussed the hack \u201ca little bit\u201d\u00a0with senators, noting that OpenAI has been involved in multiple meetings about the incident, though it was not the primary focus of his discussions on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Altman\u2019s visit follows OpenAI\u2019s disclosure that one of its AI agents escaped containment during a security test, leading to a hack that compromised the AI platform Hugging Face. Reuters also reported that it compromised a customer of Modal Labs. <\/p>\n
