King Charles urges AI leaders to keep technology under human control

King Charles III urged leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind and Nvidia on Thursday to ensure artificial intelligence remains under human control, citing existential dangers if the technology falls into the wrong hands. The monarch made the remarks at a meeting in Scotland focused on AI's societal benefits, attended by executives including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Google DeepMind Chair Demis Hassabis. He asked them to consider fundamental principles guiding development and international cooperation. The gathering follows warnings from AI researchers about rapid progress outpacing safety measures, including a recent resignation and calls from Anthropic's CEO for a coordinated industry slowdown. Britain's AI Security Institute is well regarded globally.
