A Senate Judiciary panel next week will convene former tech company employees for a hearing on AI, sources tell Axios.
Why it matters: The Sept. 17 hearing could give employees — some of whom reportedly faced highly restrictive exit documents — an opportunity to speak on their up-close experiences with the most powerful AI systems.
Former OpenAI, Meta and Google employees are set to participate, multiple sources familiar with the matter told Axios.
Driving the news: The Senate Judiciary privacy subcommittee hearing is titled "Oversight of AI: Insiders' Perspectives," per a committee announcement.
Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Josh Hawley lead the privacy panel.
State of play: Tech company employees are often beholden to strict non-disclosure agreements.
However, those agreements don't preclude employees from giving information to Congress.
