OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman will appear before Congress on Tuesday to testify about the dangers posed by emerging artificial intelligence technologies, including his company’s ChatGPT AI chatbot. The hearing before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law will begin at 10am local time (3pm BST), during which members will question Mr Altman and other tech leaders about the “urgent” need to create rules for AI. Mr Altman will appear alongside Gary Marcus, Professor Emeritus at New York University, and Christina Montgomery, chief privacy officer at IBM. Committee Chair, US Senator Richard Blumenthal, said ahead of the hearing: “Artificial intelligence urgently needs rules and safeguards to address its immense promise and pitfalls.” Ranking member Josh Hawley added: “Artificial intelligence will be transformative in ways we can’t even imagine, with implications for Americans’ elections, jobs, and security.” We will have all the latest news and updates from the hearing in our coverage below, as well as a live stream as soon as it is available.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have called young innovators and campaigners to congratulate them on being awarded a share of a multimillion-dollar prize to boost their efforts. Harry and Meghan rang some of the 26 recipients who will receive the financial award from the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund – and joked that their children were “incredibly grateful”. The couple’s Archewell Foundation is a founding member of the initiative which has a number of aims including shaping the “tech ecosystem to safeguard human rights” and “mitigating the harmful impacts of technology in communities”. Holding a mobile between himself and Meghan, Harry said to one winner: “Thank you for doing everything that you do. Our kids especially are incredibly grateful.” The Sussexes have a son Archie and a daughter Lilibet, and Megan added: “They don’t know it yet – but they will.” The fund raised 2 million US dollars (£1.6m) from backers and awarded amounts ranging from 25,000 dollars (£19,700) to 200,000 dollars (£157,000) — based on the stage of the organisation and funding needs. The recipients will work on a range of innovative projects, including responsible use of artificial intelligence; improving education access; leveraging platforms to address social and environmental challenges and promoting the safety and well-being of online communities.
