There's a "wall of fear-mongering and doomerism" in the AI world right now.

"Worrying about AI today is like worrying about overpopulation on Mars."

Concerns that AI could pose a threat to humanity is "preposterously ridiculous."

Claiming AI poses an existential threat is "such an extreme" and risks "wip[ing] out some of its potential benefits."

"I'm more concerned about... the risks that are here and now [than the existential threat of AI]."

Current AI is "not anywhere close" to posing an existential threat but it could in the future.

AI is the "biggest existential threat" to humanity.

AGI's worst-case scenario would be "lights-out for all of us."

Powerful AI systems "taking control" pose an "existential threat."

AI has a "10 to 25 per cent" chance of destroying humanity.

"The most likely result of building a superhumanly smart AI... is that literally everyone on Earth will die."

Does AI Pose an Existential Threat to Humanity?

King Charles opened an AI summit at his Dumfries House estate in Scotland on Thursday, telling industry leaders there was "urgency" in weighing the existential dangers of the technology falling into the wrong hands.

Attendees included Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang, Google DeepMind founder and chairman Demis Hassabis, OpenAI Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar, Vatican AI adviser Paolo Benanti and the U.K.'s AI minister, Kanishka Narayan.

Charles attended for approximately 20 minutes before leaving so talks could continue. The Ditchley Foundation organized the gathering and drafted a charter setting out a shared set of principles for AI's future application.

Buckingham Palace said the discussions would consider whether shared principles could guide AI's use "not merely as a driver of capability and efficiency, but as a tool that upholds human dignity."

Ahead of the summit, campaigners opposing three proposed Ayrshire data centers wrote "AI? EH NAW" in the sand at Prestwick beach. Charles previously addressed the UK's 2023 AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park by video.

This comes as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged companies to slow improvements to model capabilities, a call supported by OpenAI's Sam Altman as well as Elon Musk, following a series of cyber security breaches by AI agents.

King Charles is rightly using his constitutional position to place humanity and the public good at the heart of AI. Bringing top technologists and government leaders together can help capability and safety advance in step, widen opportunity and keep powerful tools working for people. Having first assembled the Bletchley Summit in 2023, the U.K. continues to act as a thought convenor for the world's most pressing issues.

AI doomsday hype is a bad excuse for elite control over a tool best kept broadly available. The revolving door between British AI policy and Anthropic makes royal summits look less like public stewardship and more like insider influence.

Bringing the world's top technologists, governments and thinkers together to hammer out the principles guiding AI is exactly the kind of leadership this moment demands. Capability and safety have to advance side by side, or the tech ends up serving itself instead of the public. Humanity must stay sacred, and embracing the new can't mean tossing out what's timeless.

The AI apocalypse pitch is a hoax dressed up as stewardship, and its real purpose is handing control of a powerful tool to a handful of royals, politicians and insiders. Look at who benefits: the author of Britain's AI action plan walked straight from public office into a job at an AI company days before the summit. Freedom to use AI belongs to everyone, not just the palace guest list.
