According to TechCrunch, Britain's monarch convened a closed-door meeting with leading AI figures and UK government officials, during which he expressed reservations about the technology.
King Charles III hosted a private summit on Thursday that brought together some of the most prominent figures in artificial intelligence and members of the UK government, according to a report by TechCrunch.
The outlet reported that the King expressed hesitations about AI during the gathering, though details about the specific concerns raised, the identities of the attendees, and the outcomes of the discussion were not fully disclosed in the available reporting.
TechCrunch did not specify the location of the summit or provide further elaboration on the agenda. It remains unclear whether the meeting was part of a broader UK government initiative on AI policy or an independent effort by Buckingham Palace to engage with the technology sector.
Neither Buckingham Palace nor the UK government has issued a public statement elaborating on the substance of the King's remarks, based on the information currently available.
This report is developing, and additional details about the summit's participants and discussions may emerge as more information becomes available.
