Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is scheduled to have dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House tonight, their first one-on-one meeting. The meeting follows a clash over AI safety: Amodei has proposed slowing AI development or proceeding more cautiously.
Earlier this year, the Pentagon designated Anthropic a supply-chain risk after the company sought guardrails on the use of its technology. Anthropic is challenging the designation in court, though other administration officials have been friendlier toward the company.
Trump has called the AI backlash a Democratic hoax without providing evidence and wants to rebrand the technology as “super intelligence.”
