Trump to host Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for private White House dinner
President Trump will host Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for a private White House dinner on Sunday evening, signaling a potential easing of tensions between the administration and the AI company. The dinner follows Amodei's notable absence from last week's state dinner for top tech CEOs due to a scheduling conflict. Trump allies had previously circulated talking points questioning Amodei's ties to the effective altruism movement, with one official reportedly calling him "a little too weird" for Trump. The White House says it is focused on leading in artificial superintelligence while protecting consumers. The meeting could prove significant for Anthropic, as Trump's personal relationships often shape how his administration works with companies.
