Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to Dine with Trump at White House
Dario Amodei is set to meet President Donald Trump for the first time one-on-one, as Anthropic fights a Pentagon supply-chain risk designation in court.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is set to have dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House, according to Axios, which first reported the plans. Other publications later confirmed the meeting.
The dinner will be the first one-on-one meeting between Amodei and Trump. It comes as Anthropic has been fighting a Pentagon designation of the company as a supply-chain risk, a move made earlier this year in response to Anthropic's attempt to put guardrails around the use of its technology. Anthropic has been challenging that designation in court.
Amodei has released a plan to slow AI development or proceed with more caution. Trump, meanwhile, has claimed without evidence that the AI backlash is a Democratic hoax and wants to rebrand the technology as "super intelligence."
Amodei was also lampooned on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live.
