"The hearing will look at Big Tech and AI safety oversight, Akey said, along with other issues like whistleblower retaliation."
"The hearing comes as social media and AI companies are facing mounting lawsuits, including some first-time losses, and Capitol Hill gets closer to passing kids' online safety legislation."
"Social media CEOs also haven't testified in Congress since 2024, when they appeared before the Judiciary Committee to discuss many of the same topics."
"People deserve to hear directly from CEOs, Akey said, following a Judiciary subcommittee hearing this week featuring parents pushing for stricter online legislation."
