The monarch's comments on Thursday add to a global debate over whether, and how to regulate the industry. "There seems urgency in adequately considering the existential dangers of such technologies falling into the wrong hands, and being used in potentially catastrophic ways," Charles told guests at the opening of the conference. "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," he told the industry leaders. "Those who have created these technologies are now increasingly warning that AI risks developing darker capacities, perhaps even to take life," or be used in "potentially catastrophic ways", the king also said.
