OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Meets With White House Officials Ahead of AI Framework Deadline
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI (ticker: OPENAI.FG), is meeting with Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, during a visit to Washington, D.C. The discussions are part of broader engagements with senior Trump administration officials and lawmakers ahead of an August 1 deadline for implementing President Donald Trump’s AI executive order signed in June. The executive order requires AI companies like OpenAI to voluntarily submit models for government evaluation before public release. Altman is also meeting with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and other Senate Democrats, discussing how the U.S. can maintain its competitive edge in artificial intelligence. Other tech leaders, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, are also engaging with lawmakers on AI policy. The Trump administration has been actively shaping a regulatory framework for AI since June’s executive order, which gave federal agencies 60 days to develop practical evaluation procedures.
