After a weekend of alarming headlines about AI mishaps, public sector breaches, and agents gaining unauthorized access to outside systems, tech and AI CEOs are descending on Washington yet again this week. They’re more likely to be fêted than reprimanded as a whole. Given the Trump administration’s continued rejection of sweeping AI rules in favor of letting American companies quickly grow and accelerate, discussion about strict regulatory regimes is unlikely to be high on the agenda. First, there’s a Tuesday meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and AI CEOs from the frontier labs, a source familiar with the plans confirmed to Semafor. Meta is among those invited. That same day, an event dubbed “America’s Golden Age” will feature the president, more tech and AI executives and Trump Cabinet members as they unveil a new government website. Notably, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei also dined with Trump last night at the White House, Semafor confirmed, a surprising development given the Pentagon continues to deem his company a “security risk” and the administration rails against his connections to the “effective altruism” community. The dinner was first reported by Axios.
