Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to have first White House dinner with Trump

techcrunch.com —

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is scheduled to have dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House tonight, marking their first one-on-one meeting, according to Axios and confirmed by TechCrunch. The meeting follows public disagreement over AI safety, as Amodei has proposed slowing AI development while Trump has dismissed the backlash as a hoax and advocated for rebranding the technology as "super intelligence." The relationship has also been strained by the Pentagon's supply-chain risk designation of Anthropic earlier this year, which the company is contesting in court. The dinner comes amid Amodei's high-profile weekend, which included being lampooned on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live. Despite the Pentagon's action, some other administration officials have maintained friendlier ties with the company.
