OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is expected to testify Tuesday at the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law oversight hearing on artificial intelligence.

In his first appearance before a congressional panel, Altman is set to advocate for licensing or registration requirements for AI with certain capabilities. That way, the U.S. can hold companies to safety standards, for instance, by testing systems before their release and publishing the results.

The growing popularity of Microsoft-backed Open AI’s ChatGPT, a chatbox that can mimic humans and create text and images based on prompts, has spurred others such as Alphabet’s Google, Amazon’s cloud division AWS and Meta Platforms to announce similar tools.

"AI is no longer fantasy or science fiction. It is real, and its consequences for both good and evil are very clear and present," said Senator Richard Blumenthal, the subcommittee's chair.
