SpaceX has agreed to testify before New York City Council as part of an investigation into AI safety risks, CNBC reports. The company agreed after receiving a subpoena, according to the report.
Why it mattersThe report does not specify here when the testimony will take place or what SpaceX will be asked. Still, a city council investigation brings AI safety scrutiny into a concrete public hearing, not just another round of industry discussion.
Discuss: Should city councils be able to compel AI companies to explain their safety practices publicly, or should that scrutiny sit with regulators and elected lawmakers at higher levels?
