King Charles urges AI leaders to ensure human control in Scotland meeting
King Charles III met with AI leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Nvidia in Scotland on Thursday, urging them to ensure artificial intelligence remains under human control and serves people and the planet. The monarch warned of "existential dangers" if AI falls into the wrong hands, calling for "sufficient means of control before it is all too late." Attendees included Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Google DeepMind Chair Demis Hassabis, and OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar, with discussions focused on safety and international cooperation. The meeting follows industry debate over slowing AI development, with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposing coordinated slowdowns. Huang defended current practices, saying companies should hold back unsafe products. OpenAI also reported six incidents of concerning AI behavior on Wednesday.
