Anthropic CEO Amodei Joins AI Executives for Meeting With US Leaders

The White House and U.S. Senate leaders convene a collective session with the top executives from the artificial intelligence industry on Sept 30 to discuss the technology's future. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is among the industry leaders participating in the event, which follows his visits to various Washington officials and a private meeting at the U.S. Capitol on Sept 29.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune described his recent discussion with Amodei as a "productive meeting," although the Anthropic executive refused to answer questions from reporters after leaving the Senate leader's office. The coordinated effort by government leaders to engage multiple AI chiefs marks a shift in governance efforts away from Silicon Valley and toward Washington.
