Scoop: Tech CEOs summoned to Capitol for June hearing

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has scheduled a June 23 hearing titled 'Examining Tech Industry Practices and the Implications for Users and Families.' The hearing will focus on Big Tech and AI safety oversight, according to the announcement. Tech CEOs have been summoned to testify, though specific invitees have not been named in the report.

The hearing is part of ongoing congressional efforts to examine the practices of major technology companies. The hearing's title suggests a broad scope covering both business practices and the safety implications of artificial intelligence systems.

Congress has held multiple hearings on tech issues in recent years, with limited legislative action following. The June hearing date places it before the summer recess, potentially allowing for follow-up legislation later in the year. No specific bills have been cited in relation to this hearing.
