President Trump is set to dine with Dario Amodei, chief executive of Anthropic, at the White House on Sunday night. The meeting follows Amodei's warnings about artificial intelligence safety risks, which Trump has dismissed as a "hoax." Amodei co-founded Anthropic, maker of the Claude chatbot, and has long advocated for AI safety regulations and global cooperation. Trump's dinner comes after a state dinner with other AI executives and precedes a summit on technology and AI.

The White House and Anthropic declined to comment. The dinner may signal Trump's willingness to engage with AI safety concerns. Earlier this year, Anthropic clashed with the Pentagon over a $200 million contract, with the company insisting its AI not be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons.

The Pentagon designated Anthropic a "supply chain risk to national security," barring it from working with military contractors. A federal appeals court recently upheld this decision, leaving Anthropic in an awkward position ahead of its anticipated IPO.
