Senator Mark Warner (D.-Va.), the chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, wrote letters to the CEOs of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and several other tech companies on Wednesday, with the lawmaker pressing the companies on safety surrounding artificial intelligence.

In the letters, Warner praised the companies that have joined the recent Biden Administration initiative to offer voluntary commitments to promote greater security and safety, while asking those that have not yet joined to do so.
Also receiving letters were the CEOs of Amazon (AMZN), Anthropic, Meta Platforms (META), OpenAI, Inflection AI and Scale AI, among others.
Warner also wrote a series of letters to the tech companies in April asking them to make sure their artificial intelligence is secure and to prevent the "malicious" use of the powerful technology.
