Anthropic CEO to dine with Trump at White House

ctvnews.ca —

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is scheduled for a one-on-one dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House on Sunday evening, marking their first private meeting after months of conflict between the AI startup and the administration. The dinner follows a federal appeals court upholding the Pentagon's classification of Anthropic as a "supply chain risk," barring U.S. military use of its models. The company was sanctioned after refusing in February to allow its tools for autonomous weapons or mass surveillance. Amodei was absent from Thursday's state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping, which rival Sam Altman attended. Trump dismissed AI security concerns on Fox News, and he and House Speaker Mike Johnson will meet leading AI executives on Tuesday.
