King Charles warns tech giants of AI's 'existential risks' at Scotland summit
King Charles III warned Thursday of "existential risks" from artificial intelligence at a secretive summit in Scotland with about 60 tech leaders, including Google DeepMind and Nvidia chiefs. The king urged attendees to adequately examine dangers of AI falling "into the wrong hands," saying humanity anxiously awaits assurance it won't lose control of its destiny. He called for technology to remain firmly at humanity's service. The summit at Dumfries House aims to develop common principles for AI development, though no formal agreement is expected. DeepMind's Demis Hassabis said accident risks are "certainly not zero," while Nvidia's Jensen Huang emphasized benefits and "responsible optimism."
