King Charles III is meeting Thursday with senior leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind and Nvidia to discuss artificial intelligence and make a plea to ensure the technology remains in the service of people and the planet. The gathering in Scotland, which includes Britain’s AI Minister Kanishka Narayan, was convened to discuss how AI can be deployed in ways that benefit society.
ChatGPT maker OpenAI will be represented by Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar, and representatives of firms including Nvidia, Google DeepMind and Anthropic are expected to attend the gathering at Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Scotland, headquarters of The King’s Foundation, the monarch’s charity. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said in an essay Saturday that the industry might need to slow the pace of its work, cautioning that AI agents could take over the internet unless companies devoted more time to putting safeguards in place. Can AI development be stopped ?
