Sam Altman to meet with Trump administration, Senators this week. Here's what he plans to say - CNBC

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is scheduled to meet with senior officials in the Trump administration and several U.S. Senators this week, according to a CNBC report. The meetings are intended to preview upcoming AI models from OpenAI and discuss cybersecurity issues and the regulation of open-weight AI models.

The visit comes as policymakers debate whether to restrict access to Chinese open-weight AI models, which some argue pose national security risks. Altman's discussions are expected to focus on how to manage the proliferation of such models while maintaining U.S. competitiveness in AI development. The report did not specify which officials or lawmakers would be present.

The meetings reflect ongoing efforts by AI industry leaders to shape U.S. AI policy. OpenAI has previously engaged with lawmakers on issues including AI safety, intellectual property, and export controls.
