Anthropic’s CEO is about to have dinner with President Trump

Anthropic 首席执行官即将与特朗普总统共进晚餐

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei seems to be everywhere this weekend: He was lampooned on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live, and tonight, he’s set to have dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House. 本周末，Anthropic 首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代（Dario Amodei）似乎无处不在：他不仅在《周六夜现场》（Saturday Night Live）的季首播中被讽刺，今晚他还计划在白宫与唐纳德·特朗普总统共进晚餐。

Axios first broke the news of Amodei’s dinner plans, which TechCrunch subsequently confirmed with a source familiar with his plans. This will be the first one-on-one meeting between the two men, who recently found themselves on opposite sides of the AI safety debate. Axios 最先披露了阿莫代此次晚餐计划的消息，TechCrunch 随后从熟悉其行程的消息人士处证实了这一点。这将是两人之间的首次一对一会晤，而他们最近在人工智能安全辩论中恰好处于对立面。

Amodei released a plan to slow AI development (or at least proceed with more caution), while Trump has insisted, without evidence, that the AI backlash is a Democratic hoax; he also wants to rebrand the technology as “super intelligence.” 阿莫代曾发布了一项旨在放缓人工智能发展（或至少更加谨慎行事）的计划，而特朗普则在没有证据的情况下坚称，针对人工智能的抵制是民主党的一场骗局；他还希望将这项技术重新命名为“超级智能”（super intelligence）。

Even before the current back-and-forth, Amodei and Anthropic have had a fraught relationship with Trump’s administration. Earlier this year, the Pentagon designated Anthropic a supply-chain risk in response to the company’s attempt to put guardrails around the use of its technology (Anthropic has been fighting the designation in court), although other administration officials have been friendlier. 即便在当前的争论之前，阿莫代和 Anthropic 与特朗普政府的关系也一直处于紧张状态。今年早些时候，五角大楼将 Anthropic 列为供应链风险，以回应该公司试图为其技术使用设置护栏的行为（Anthropic 一直在法庭上对这一认定进行抗争），尽管政府中的其他官员态度更为友好。
