Anthropic CEO Amodei to meet Trump with AI safety concern rising
Amodei and Trump have staked out starkly different positions about the threats posed by AI.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is scheduled to dine with President Donald Trump on Sunday night, according to sources close to the situation. This meeting comes amid rising concerns over AI safety and represents a rare private encounter between the two men, who have had a contentious relationship. The dinner is the first such sit-down since a contract dispute with the Pentagon earlier this year and further tension when the Commerce Department placed temporary export controls on Anthropic's Mythos model in June.
The specific topics to be discussed during the dinner remain unknown, as sources spoke anonymously to discuss confidential planning. Earlier reports from Axios also confirmed the dinner. However, Anthropic and the White House have not yet commented on the planned meeting.
