OpenAI, Anthropic and Google have agreed to send representatives to the upcoming New York City Council hearing, after council officials warned the firms they could be issued subpoenas.[^1]

The confirmation followed a meeting with a wider cohort of major technology companies operating in artificial intelligence.

That meeting also produced agreed frameworks for voluntary AI self-regulation. Attending firms included Meta, Nvidia and xAI alongside the three labs.[^2]
