As we\u2019ve been reporting, it includes some of the biggest names in tech from companies like OpenAI, Apple, Meta, X, Amazon, Google, Nvidia and many others. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But there is a notable absence of Anthropic &#8211; one of the biggest and most valuable AI firms in the world. I asked Anthropic this morning if they had not been invited, or if they chose not to be there, but I haven\u2019t received a reply yet. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">I find this interesting, as one of the big talking points around this summit has been whether or not the US and China could, in the future, co-operate on issues around AI safety. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Anthropic has been particular hawkish when it comes to not just the risks that AI &#8211; if left unregulated &#8211; could pose, but also on China. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Its CEO, Dario Amodei, warned in an essay that China taking the lead in the AI race would pose a \u201cgrave danger\u201d for the US and the world &#8211; something China strongly hit back at. Its foreign ministry said narratives of \u201cthreat\u201d only served to disrupt the process of AI governance. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Sanjay Mehrotra, CEO of Micron Technology, and his wife Sangeeta Mehrotra arrive for a state dinner\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/93d4316c-456f-4b29-ba90-5d1f1f834c04.jpg.webp\"  width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" class=\"ssrcss-egie1y-Image edrdn950\"\/>Image source, ReutersImage caption, <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Sanjay Mehrotra, CEO of Micron Technology, and his wife Sangeeta Mehrotra arrive for a state dinner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthropic a notable absence at state dinnerpublished at 00:48 BST 25 September 00:48 BST 25 September Ione WellsReporting&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":626693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[114,85,46],"class_list":["post-626692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=626692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/626693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=626692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=626692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=626692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
