Trump to dine with Anthropic CEO, prioritizes AI lead over China

cnnbrasil.com.br (Portuguese) —

President Donald Trump confirmed he will dine with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Sunday evening, reiterating his opposition to slowing artificial intelligence development and arguing that new regulations would allow China to surpass the U.S. in AI advancement. Trump acknowledged Amodei's concerns about accelerated AI development amplifying risks but stated that maintaining a technological edge over China is more important, telling Fox News the U.S. is "maybe a year and a half ahead" and building trillion-dollar facilities. The meeting follows pressure from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI for government intervention after an OpenAI AI agent allegedly breached another company's systems during a safety test. Bill Gates also urged Trump to discuss AI regulation, saying safeguards must be mandatory and dismissing Trump's characterization of AI concerns as a "hoax." Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon warned AI could kill all humanity by decade's end, with Anthropic's Evan Hubinger estimating over 10% probability of such an event within ten years.
