Trump Personally Invites Anthropic's Dario Amodei to Private White House Dinner Sunday Night

Dario Amodei Anthropic ai-business

Summary

President Trump is set to host Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei at a private White House dinner Sunday evening — their first one-on-one meeting and a notable thaw following a leaked Trump-adviser memo that painted Amodei as the face of 'AI doomerism.' Trump personally invited Amodei after Anthropic's CEO missed last week's state dinner attended by OpenAI's Sam Altman and Google's Sundar Pichai. A larger White House meeting with multiple AI CEOs is planned for Tuesday.
