Google chief executive Sundar Pichai is slated to testify to Congress on Dec. 11, after lawmakers rescheduled their original hearing in light of former president George H.W. Bush’s death.
A Thursday meeting at the White House, which Pichai is scheduled to attend, is still due to take place. Pichai will huddle with fellow tech executives from companies including Microsoft, Oracle and Qualcomm as well as top aides to President Trump to discuss innovation policy.
“By engaging with industry and academic leaders to generate transformative ideas and partnerships, the government can help accelerate the growth of future industries to grow the economy, provide meaningful jobs, and improve the quality of life for all Americans,” the White House said in an email to participants obtained by The Washington Post.
