President Donald Trump is scheduled to have dinner with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Sunday, according to a person familiar with the matter. The meeting is expected to involve discussions about artificial intelligence (AI), with a White House official stating that "America will lead the world in Super Intelligence, while protecting American consumers." The official added, "We will drive innovation, strengthen American competitiveness, and ensure this transformative technology works for the American people."
This dinner marks the first sit-down meeting between Amodei and the president. It occurs amid Amodei's calls for government regulation of frontier AI companies, which have reportedly faced resistance from key figures in Washington. Trump himself has previously expressed skepticism about AI regulation, posting on Truth Social on September 14 that he would continue to prevent AI "people" like Amodei from doing "bad, or potentially bad, 'things.'"
