Dario Amodei sits down with President Trump for the first time as AI policy and export rules remain live issues in Washington.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is having his first one-on-one dinner meeting with President Trump, a notable shift for an executive who has been publicly critical of unchecked AI risk and vocal about regulation.
The meeting comes as Anthropic navigates federal contracting, chip export policy, and safety rulemaking that directly affect its commercial roadmap and access to compute.
