King Charles has voiced his concern over the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, warning that people are becoming increasingly anxious and “seeking reassurance” as the technology continues to reshape everyday life.
The British Monarch will host a high-level AI forum at Dumfries House today, bringing together senior figures from Nvidia, Google DeepMind, OpenAI and Anthropic, alongside the Minister for Artificial Intelligence.
Organised by the Ditchley Foundation, the gathering will focus on the rapidly evolving technology.
Participants will discuss how AI can strengthen communities, improve lives and protect the environment, while exploring shared principles to guide its future use and safeguard human dignity.
Charles is set to describe AI's development as "both intriguing and deeply concerning in equal measure," noting that people who cherish humanity's moral dimension "are anxiously seeking your reassurance that we will not lose control of our destiny."
The King will ask how AI’s benefits can be realised safely and how global cooperation can ensure “no nation is left behind,” stressing that today’s choices will shape the world future generations inherit.
"The task before you is not merely to advance technology, but to ensure that it remains firmly in the service of humanity, community and the natural world," he will tell participants.
King Charles faces in new controversy
Notably, King Charles warning on AI will come amid the entangled in new controversy as he allegedly told Princess Diana's brother that she would be forgotten "soon enough" in a horrific phone call following her death in 1997.
The Daily Mail’s first preview of Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, published Wednesday, claims the 9th Earl Spencer revealed the monarch’s alleged “pent-up contempt” for Princess Diana following her death in a Paris car crash.
The ninth Earl of Spencer made a bombshell claiming that during a telephone call with then-the Prince of Wales after Diana's death, Charles told him that his sister would be "forgotten soon enough".
