President Donald Trump is hosting Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for a private dinner at the White House, according to Fox Business. The meeting was reported on Monday, September 28, 2026.
Trump has confirmed the sit-down with Amodei, Reuters reports, and used the occasion to repeat his dismissal of fears about artificial intelligence. The dinner follows Amodei's absence from an earlier state dinner, CNBC reports.
The meeting has drawn attention from Amodei's critics, who Axios reports targeted Trump with a critical piece ahead of the dinner. Bloomberg reports that recent AI breaches have added to safety fears as the two men meet.
Anthropic is among the leading developers of AI systems, and its CEO's visit to the White House puts the company at the center of the ongoing policy debate over how the technology should be governed. The dinner is private, and no details about its agenda have been released.
What to watch next: whether the White House or Anthropic comments publicly on what was discussed, and whether the meeting leads to any shift in the administration's approach to AI oversight.
