Rep. Ramirez's office announced that Ramirez and Casar led members of Congress in calling on Speaker Johnson to immediately schedule open hearings with leaders of the largest AI companies and independent experts.
Assessments
The promise was to push for immediate open congressional hearings, not necessarily to secure completed hearings. In the same federal House term, Ramirez co-led an official request to Speaker Johnson for open hearings with major AI company CEOs and independent experts covering AI safety, security, worker displacement, and regulation, which directly matches the pledged action.
