Anthropic’s CEO is about to have dinner with President Trump
techcrunch ·
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is scheduled to have dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House this weekend. This meeting marks the first one-on-one encounter between the two leaders, who have recently held opposing views on artificial intelligence safety. While Amodei has advocated for a cautious approach to AI development, Trump has dismissed concerns about AI risks as political misinformation. The relationship between Anthropic and the current administration has been complex, including a recent Pentagon designation of the company as a supply-chain risk. Despite these tensions, other officials within the administration have shown friendlier attitudes toward the tech firm. Amodei's high profile was further highlighted by his appearance in a sketch on Saturday Night Live earlier in the week. Axios originally reported on the dinner plans, which TechCrunch has since confirmed through internal sources.
