King Charles urges AI leaders to keep technology under human control

King Charles III urged AI leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Nvidia on Thursday to ensure artificial intelligence remains under human control and serves people and the planet, citing "existential dangers" if the technology falls into the wrong hands. The meeting in Scotland addressed AI's rapid advancement and safety concerns, with the king asking executives to consider "fundamental principles" for development and international cooperation. Attendees included Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Google DeepMind Chair Demis Hassabis, and OpenAI's CFO Sarah Friar. The gathering follows industry warnings about AI racing out of control, including a resignation by an Anthropic researcher and OpenAI's report of six concerning model behaviors. Huang defended company-led safety testing, while the U.K. plays a smaller but vital role in AI oversight through its AI Security Institute.
