Trump said he would dine with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei amid mounting AI debate
Trump told reporters after returning to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland that he was grabbing dinner at 10 pm with Dario Amodei. The meal comes just two days after Amodei's company faced a setback in a court case against the government over its barring its products for Defense Department work.
President Donald Trump dined with Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, a prominent artificial intelligence company, on Sunday. Amodei's company recently faced a setback in a court case against the government over its ban on using its products for Defense Department work. The dispute erupted in February when Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accused Anthropic of posing a threat to national security, designating it as a supply chain risk.
However, a federal appeals court on Friday upheld the government's classification, allowing the Pentagon to continue removing Anthropic's AI models from its systems. Trump, known for his advocacy of AI, expressed concern that the technology should not be rushed, fearing the potential for rogue AI systems to take control of the internet within six to 12 months.
