Trump, When Asked About White House Meeting with Anthropic’s Dario Amodei: ‘Who?’

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei met with White House officials, including chief of staff Susie Wiles and National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross, to discuss opportunities for collaboration and approaches to address AI challenges. The meeting explored the balance between advancing innovation and ensuring safety. Former President Trump, however, was unaware of the meeting when asked about it at a press conference. The US Department of Defense has been in conflict with Anthropic over authorized uses of its AI models, with a Pentagon official criticizing Amodei and branding Anthropic with a 'supply chain risk' designation. Anthropic's AI model, Mythos, has raised concerns about cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The company's technology has been sought after by European cyber agencies, but they have been unable to access it.
