Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei had dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House on Sunday, Fortune reported.
The meeting followed months of tension between Anthropic and the Trump administration over the development and use of artificial intelligence. Amodei has urged the industry to proceed more cautiously with advanced AI systems and proposed additional government oversight. Trump has rejected calls to slow development, arguing that the United States must maintain its technological lead over China.
Amodei missed Thursday’s state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping because of a scheduling conflict, prompting Trump to invite him to a separate dinner, CNBC reported. Other technology executives, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, attended the state dinner.
Ahead of Amodei’s White House visit, critics circulated a memo highlighting his past criticism of Trump and Democratic ties, Axios and Fortune reported.
The dinner also came two days after a federal appeals court upheld the Pentagon’s designation of Anthropic as a “supply chain risk,” which bars the military from using its models, according to Al Jazeera. Anthropic has challenged the designation, imposed after the company resisted allowing its technology to be used for fully autonomous weapons or domestic mass surveillance.
