business-standard.com —

President Donald Trump confirmed a dinner meeting with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for Sunday night, while reiterating his opposition to slowing AI development and dismissing related fears. Trump argued that new regulations would let China surpass the US in AI, citing a current lead of about a year and a half. He acknowledged Amodei's risk concerns but prioritized maintaining a technological edge. The meeting follows industry calls for federal oversight, including from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Microsoft. Bill Gates also sought a meeting with Trump, urging safeguards, while recent researcher warnings suggested a over 10% chance of AI causing human extinction within a decade.
