King Charles III met with CEOs 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 after a researcher resigned. Huang defended current practices, while OpenAI reported six incidents of concerning model behavior. Britain plays a smaller but vital role in AI safety through its government research institute.
