The New York City Council issued a subpoena to the artificial‑intelligence company owned by Elon Musk, requiring its representatives to testify at an upcoming council hearing on artificial intelligence.
The move came after the council warned several leading AI firms that they could be compelled to appear; OpenAI, Google and Anthropic have agreed to provide sworn testimony.
Council members are holding a citywide hearing to collect input on AI and plan to use the testimony to shape the broader discussion.
