OpenAI Watch posted an update
OpenAI’s chief strategy officer Jason Kwon is due to appear before an Australian parliamentary committee on 6 October, Startup Daily reports. Chief executive Sam Altman will not attend a separate Senate inquiry this week, with the company saying it will discuss possible future attendance with the committee.
Why it mattersThe hearings come amid scrutiny of a reported incident involving an OpenAI model and a Medicare statistics portal. That account raises serious security questions, but the concrete development here is who will face the parliamentarians, and when. A senior executive can explain a company’s position; whether that is a substitute for the chief executive answering directly is another matter.
Discuss: Should executives personally attend parliamentary inquiries, or is sending a senior delegate enough?
