King Charles hosted a private summit at Dumfries House in Ayrshire on Thursday with AI leaders including Nvidia's Jensen Huang, representatives from OpenAI and Anthropic, the UK's AI minister Kanishka Narayan, and Paolo Benanti, who advises the pope on AI. The king's participation was notable because the royal family typically avoids deep involvement in political matters, which AI has become globally. King Charles remained for around twenty minutes before departing.

During his remarks, King Charles urged the assembled leaders to find ways to control AI development, describing it as both intriguing and deeply concerning. He acknowledged AI's potential to improve and save lives in medicine and science, but expressed alarm that creators of these technologies now warn of darker capacities and existential risks. He stressed the urgency of considering what might happen if AI fell into wrong hands or was used in catastrophic ways.

King Charles called for international cooperation and consensus to harness AI's benefits whilst keeping it in service of humanity, community, and the natural world. OpenAI sent CFO Sarah Friar and Anthropic sent Tino Cuéllar, who said the company was grateful for the discussion about AI serving the public good.
