Anthropic CEO Amodei to dine with Trump at White House
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
President Donald Trump announced a late‑night dinner with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei at the White House, marking the first private meeting between the two after months of public disagreement. The dinner follows a federal appeals court ruling that upheld the Pentagon’s classification of Anthropic as a supply‑chain risk, preventing U.S. military use of its models. Trump, who had previously criticized Amodei for urging a pause in AI development, joked about the long day and the forthcoming meal. The event signals a potential shift in the administration’s stance toward the AI startup amid ongoing policy tensions.
