Leaders from Silicon Valley were met Thursday with a new tone from Congress, where Republican lawmakers sang their tune of tech innovation over heavy-handed regulations.

Over the course of more than three hours, four major technology leaders, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, pitched their ideas to senators on how to stay ahead of China in the artificial intelligence (AI) race.

Altman warned the Senate Commerce, Energy and Science Committee that the U.S. is ahead now, but China might not be that far behind.

“It is our belief that the American models including some models from OpenAI, Google and others are the best models in the world. It’s very hard to say how far ahead we are, but I would say not a huge amount of time,” Altman said during the hearing titled “Winning the AI Race: Strengthening U.S. Capabilities in Computing and Innovation.”
