Trump to host Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for private White House dinner
President Trump invited Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to a private one-on-one dinner at the White House on Sunday, September 28, 2026. The meeting follows months of tension between Anthropic and the administration over AI safety, Pentagon access to Anthropic's models, and Amodei's calls for AI regulation. Amodei was the only major AI leader not invited to a White House state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping the prior week.
