Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is expected to attend a private dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House on Sunday, Sept. 27, according to a person familiar with the meeting who was not authorized to discuss it publicly. The gathering comes after months of conflict between the administration and the artificial intelligence company, and could signal an effort to reopen communication. Neither Anthropic nor the White House publicly detailed the dinner’s agenda. Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The meeting is scheduled days before Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson are due to meet with leading AI executives. Congress is also facing pressure from technology companies and members of the public to establish rules for the rapidly developing technology. Amodei has called for slowing AI development, citing concerns about the technology’s potential risks. Trump, meanwhile, has promoted a pro-innovation agenda and dismissed catastrophic AI concerns as a “HOAX.” A White House spokesperson said the president wants the United States to lead in what Trump calls “Super Intelligence,” while protecting consumers and strengthening the country’s competitiveness. The rift between Anthropic and the administration deepened after the Pentagon designated the company a supply chain risk, following Anthropic’s efforts to limit how the Defense Department could use its Claude AI model. Anthropic sued over the designation. On Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled for the administration, allowing it to continue excluding Anthropic from Pentagon contracts. A federal judge in California ruled for the company in a separate challenge last month, involving a different military procurement law. The disputes put government oversight and the military use of AI at the center of the relationship between Washington and one of the industry’s major developers. It remains unclear whether Sunday’s dinner will lead to any change in policy or the contracting fight.
