Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei seems to be everywhere this weekend: he was the subject of jokes during the premiere of the new season of "Saturday Night Live" ( Saturday Night Live ), and tonight, he will also head to the White House to dine with U.S. President Donald Trump.

Axios was the first to disclose Amodei's dinner arrangements, and TechCrunch later confirmed this information with a source who was aware of his itinerary.

This will be the first face-to-face meeting between the two individuals. Recently, they have been on opposing sides in debates about artificial intelligence security. Amodei once announced a plan to slow down the development of AI, or at least to proceed in a more cautious manner; whereas Trump insists that the backlash against AI is a scam orchestrated by the Democrats, without providing any evidence. He also hopes to repackage this technology as "super intelligence."

In fact, even before this current round of confrontation, the relationship between Amodei and Anthropic and the Trump administration has been quite tense. Earlier this year, the Pentagon listed Anthropic as a supply chain risk entity due to the company's attempts to impose restrictions on the use of its technology. Anthropic has been challenging this designation in court, although other officials within the government have been more favorable towards the company.
