Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is set to have his first one-on-one meeting with President Donald Trump, a notable moment given Anthropic's more cautious public stance on AI compared to rivals. The meeting comes as Amodei's public profile has grown, including a recent parody sketch on Saturday Night Live portraying him with the line "AI is the devil and I its maker." The dinner and the cultural spotlight reflect Anthropic's increasing visibility in Washington and popular culture as debates intensify over AI safety, regulation, and the political relationships major AI companies are cultivating.
