Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei meets White House in first talks since Claude AI blacklist
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei visited the White House on Friday for talks with Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, with both sides describing the discussions as 'productive and constructive.' The meeting focused on cybersecurity collaboration and maintaining America's lead in AI, marking the first significant diplomatic contact between Anthropic and the Trump administration since the Pentagon blacklisted Claude as a supply chain risk. Legal battles continue, but the thaw signals a potential path to resolution.
