OpenAI leaders declined to appear at a Senate subcommittee hearing examining the risks posed by autonomous or “rogue” AI models and their implications for homeland security, according to Chairman Sen.

The no-show highlights growing friction between Washington and major AI developers over accountability and guardrails for fast-evolving systems.
