A top U.S. lawmaker is calling on artificial intelligence executives to engage directly with Congress to address growing concerns over the technology’s risks, following recent warnings from prominent figures in the field about potential existential threats to humanity. The push comes amid heightened debate over whether current regulations are sufficient to prevent misuse or unintended consequences of rapidly advancing AI systems.

The demand underscores a widening divide between tech innovation and the urgent need for oversight in an era where AI’s capabilities are evolving faster than policy can keep pace.
