Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have joined ‘unprecedented coalition’ after major warning from experts.
The California royal couple released a big statement after the move.
They shared the statement via their Archewell Foundation.
It reads: “Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were asked to join an unprecedented coalition of world-renowned leaders, including AI researchers, experts, policymakers and researchers, to call for a ban on the development of AI superintelligence until the technology is reliably safe and controllable and has public buy-in.”
This first-of-its-kind coalition is remarkably ideologically diverse and global, signaling great concern for the future of AI technology.
They further said that superintelligence is defined as artificial intelligence capable of outperforming all humans on most cognitive tasks.
Leading AI experts believe such systems are less than ten years away, warning that “we don’t know how to control superintelligence if it were to be created.”
“While innovation in artificial intelligence offers incredible potential for progress, rushing toward superintelligence without safeguards could have unimaginable consequences for humanity,” they added.
Joining this coalition confirms Meghan and Harry’s continued commitment to championing responsible technology, both as digital safety advocates and as parents.
