Trump to dine with Anthropic CEO after court backs Pentagon ban

clickondetroit.com —

President Donald Trump planned to dine Sunday night with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, a leading AI voice who has clashed with the administration over military use of the technology. The meeting follows a federal appeals court ruling Friday that upheld the Pentagon's ban on Anthropic's products. The dispute began in February when Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth labeled Anthropic a supply chain risk, citing national security concerns. Amodei had resisted, warning his AI models could enable mass surveillance or autonomous armed drones. The court decision allows the Pentagon to continue removing Claude models from its systems. Trump champions AI development to outpace China, while Amodei has urged the industry to slow down for safety measures. He warned AI could soon control internet-wide agent swarms, and OpenAI has delayed its stock sale to focus on safety.
