During a Thursday summit in Scotland, King Charles plans to press top executives from Nvidia, OpenAI and Anthropic on keeping AI safe. He's convening figures from Google DeepMind at a senior level as well, together with the U.K. AI minister, Kanishka Narayan, plus other attendees assembled by the King's Trust, the King's Foundation and the Sustainable Markets Initiative.
Excerpts of the speech he is due to deliver include a direct appeal: "Those in our world who value our humanity and its vital moral component are anxiously seeking your reassurance that we will not lose control of our destiny."
According to Buckingham Palace, the discussions will center on putting AI to work for communities and the natural world, and on crafting a common set of principles to guide the technology's development. The king intends to ask participants how to harness AI's power with safety "at its heart," and how to build international cooperation and consensus to make that real.
Charles previously addressed the U.K.'s AI Safety Summit virtually in 2023, saying "we are witnessing one of the greatest technological leaps in history of human endeavour." Over the past two weeks, the safety debate has accelerated as tech leaders including OpenAI's Sam Altman, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Google DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis and Elon Musk found rare common ground in urging a deceleration of AI development and more oversight.
Calls for more regulation have met resistance from U.S. President Donald Trump, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and Nvidia's Jensen Huang, and on Monday Trump blasted the mounting pressure to regulate AI. AI pioneers who helped create today's systems have also warned about potentially catastrophic risks tied to these technologies' capabilities. The conversation has heated up in Washington too, with lawmakers from both parties floating bills to curb AI's advance. CNBC also highlighted the debate with a "VIDEO12:38" interview featuring Department of Defense Under Secretary Emil Michael.
