SpaceX subpoenaed to testify on AI risks in NYC
SpaceX will finally show up at a New York City Council hearing this Friday, October 16, 2026, after missing the last one and getting subpoenaed.
The council wants to hear from Elon Musk and SpaceX's AI team about how powerful AI models could impact public safety and privacy in the city.
SpaceX cursor move prompts privacy concerns
Other tech giants like OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Meta already shared their thoughts on AI risks earlier this month.
SpaceX's recent move to buy AI startup Cursor and its use by some federal agencies, including the Pentagon, have made lawmakers extra curious (and a bit concerned) about what their tech could mean for everyday New Yorkers.
The council is hoping for real answers about data privacy and what new rules might be needed to keep people safe as AI keeps evolving.
