  "account": "President Donald Trump has announced he will dine with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Sunday night. This marks the first one-on-one meeting between the two men, following months of conflict. Trump joked about his long day, stating he seems to handle it well. The invitation follows a federal appeals court ruling that classified Anthropic as a supply chain risk, barring the Pentagon from using its models. The company had previously faced sanctions for refusing to allow its models for fully autonomous weapons or domestic mass surveillance. Trump criticized Amodei for seeking a pause in AI development, while Amodei was absent at a recent state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping. Despite calls to slow AI development due to risks, Trump believes companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta cannot afford to slow down, fearing China could gain an advantage.",
  "summary": "WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said he will have a late dinner Sunday night with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, the top AI executive who has cautioned about the technology’s breakneck pace of development even as the president warns against slowing it.",
