SpaceX’s AI policy leader Gabriela Castillo Madrid is set to testify before the New York City Council’s tech committee on Friday at 10 a.m. ET. She will appear by video conference. The hearing follows SpaceX’s refusal to attend an earlier session on Oct. 5, prompting the council to threaten enforcement of its subpoena. The council is using the investigation to shape new AI safety rules.
Why it matters
The testimony could affect how regulators limit AI models like SpaceX’s Grok, impacting companies that rely on those tools.
