Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is set to have a private dinner with President Trump at the White House on Sunday evening. According to The Hill, the meeting comes after Amodei raised concerns about the risks of artificial intelligence.
Investing.com reports that this will be the first one-on-one encounter between the two. The dinner is seen as a sign of thawing relations between Anthropic and the White House, and it precedes a broader industry gathering on Tuesday, September 29, where Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson plan to meet top AI CEOs.
Axios reported that Trump personally extended the invitation to Amodei after he missed a state dinner last week due to a scheduling conflict, which was attended by OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Google’s Sundar Pichai. A senior administration official was quoted as saying that there was initial resistance to a one-on-one meeting, with one official describing Amodei as “a little too weird for Trump”.
