Trump and Anthropic CEO hold private AI dinner

cbsnews.com —

President Trump confirmed he held a private dinner with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei late Sunday night, though no details of their discussion were released. The meeting follows Amodei's warnings about AI's rapid growth and his calls for industry safeguards, which Trump has rejected. Trump stated before the dinner that they would discuss AI regulations, reiterating his stance that the U.S. must win the AI race against China. The dinner was first reported by Axios, and comes amid ongoing tensions between Anthropic and the administration. The Pentagon designated Anthropic a "supply chain risk" earlier this year, a ruling upheld by a judge this month. Amodei has previously avoided courting Trump, who called the company's leaders "leftwing nut jobs." A White House AI meeting with executives is planned for Tuesday, though Amodei is not expected to attend.
