On Monday, a group of Democrats from the U.S. House of Representatives, led by Texas’ Greg Casar, called for a Congressional hearing to hold tech industry leaders to account for the cybersecurity incidents.
Johnson himself does not have the authority to subpoena Americans to a Congressional hearing; that power belongs only to bipartisan Senate and House committees.
Representatives that the recent automated hacks deserve federal scrutiny, which could potentially lead to leaders from frontier U.S. labs being subpoenaed.
Federal officials reportedly met with American tech industry leaders at the White House last week to review the draft of a new AI safety testing framework, through which developers would voluntarily submit models to the government before they’re publicly released.
The operative word there is “voluntary”: developers would not be under any legal obligation to cooperate with the Trump administration under the proposed framework.
