Anthropic's CEO to meet with trump at the white house

Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, is set to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House, marking their first one-on-one encounter. The meeting comes amid a heated AI safety debate, with Amodei advocating for cautious AI development and Trump dismissing the AI backlash as a Democratic hoax. Axios first reported the dinner plans, which were later confirmed by TechCrunch. Earlier this year, the Pentagon labeled Anthropic a supply-chain risk due to its efforts to implement guardrails on AI technology, though the company continues to challenge the designation in court. The meeting highlights the ongoing tension between Amodei and Trump's administration, which has had a mixed relationship with the company.
