"intriguing and concerning": Charles gives a speech on AI

AI is already showing its immense capacity to improve and save life, for example in the field of life sciences and medicine. King Charles hosted an AI meeting at Dumfries House in Scotland on Thursday. The 77-year-old gave a speech there. I suppose we might readily agree that the development of AI, its substance and its pace are both intriguing and deeply concerning in equal measure. He said the question of how artificial intelligence can be used for the benefit of people and the environment is particularly important to him. The discussion also focused on how to harness the benefits of AI while ensuring safety. Yet those who have created these technologies are now increasingly warning that AI risks developing darker capacities, perhaps even to take life.
