White House officials, including Bessent and Wiles, recently held a "productive" meeting with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. The discussions focused on artificial intelligence and are being characterized as "peace talks" and a "sign of thaw" between the administration and the previously blacklisted AI company.
The meeting aimed to find a compromise regarding AI development and regulation. President Donald Trump stated he "had no idea" that Amodei met with the White House to discuss Mythos, an AI model.
This engagement follows previous tensions where Anthropic was reportedly blacklisted. The White House and Anthropic are reportedly seeking common ground on AI policy. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
