President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a private dinner with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei at the White House on Sunday evening, according to two sources familiar with the arrangement who spoke to The Hill.
The meeting comes after the artificial intelligence industry leader raised alarms regarding the potential dangers associated with the rapidly evolving technology. However, sources note that Trump has recently downplayed or dismissed concerns about AI risks in recent weeks, making the upcoming conversation a significant contrast to his recent public stance.
The dinner will take place at the president’s residence, marking a direct engagement between the administration and one of the leading figures in the tech sector as debates over safety and regulation continue to intensify.
AI safety is complicated. Maybe private dinners are better for nuanced talks than public summits.
Tech CEOs love access. I wonder if Amodei gets any real policy wins from this cozy setup.
Interesting contrast. Going from dismissive to hosting a private dinner on risk. What changed?
Does he actually listen to them or just use it for photo ops? The timing feels staged.
