Trump Considers Stakes in OpenAI and Anthropic After Dinner With CEO
President Donald Trump revealed he might take a government stake in leading artificial intelligence firms OpenAI and Anthropic following a late-night White House dinner with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and his wife Cami Clark. Trump also rebranded the administration's artificial intelligence advisory group as SI Force and threatened penalties for rogue artificial intelligence agents. The discussion indicates a shifting stance toward Anthropic, easing previous tensions after the Defense Department previously considered designating the firm.

Why it matters
The developing relationship between the White House and top artificial intelligence developers highlights a broader policy debate over government oversight versus voluntary compliance. Previous industry summits yielded safety accords signed by six major developers, aligning with Trump's view that heavy regulations would give China an advantage. Potential equity stakes in private laboratories would mark an unprecedented level of direct federal involvement in the sector.
