King Charles III of the United Kingdom will host an artificial intelligence forum on Thursday at the Dumfries House estate in Scotland. The main theme of the meeting will be discussing ways to use new technologies for the benefit of society and nature, as well as ensuring safety during their further development.
Key figures from the global technology industry are participating in the event: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar, Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis, and senior representatives from Anthropic PBC. The UK government is represented at the forum by AI Minister Kanishka Narayan.
According to the speech text released by Buckingham Palace, the monarch intends to call on tech leaders to provide guarantees that developers are capable of keeping the systems being created under control. “Those in our world who value our humanity and its essential moral component anxiously ask you for reassurance that we will not lose control of our destiny,” Charles III will say.
The initiative to hold the meeting coincided with an incident involving OpenAI's AI agents and subsequent statements by Anthropic head Dario Amodei. The head of the Claude chatbot developer called for slowing down the pace of AI creation for safety reasons, emphasizing the need to review the speed of technological development to implement protective mechanisms in a timely manner.
The topic of AI regulation is being actively discussed by political leaders around the world. On September 14, US President Donald Trump stated that only a strong leader with a high IQ is capable of controlling the technology. He also claimed the existence of a conspiracy against AI and data centers, naming China as its sole beneficiary.
On September 16, Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun urged world powers to tighten control over the technology, noting that concerns regarding the military application of AI should push countries toward dialogue on security issues. Earlier, on September 14, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev also commented on the risks, stating that creators of generative AI fear not so much the end of humanity as emergency situations involving the systems they developed.
