King Charles warned AI leaders that the technology poses existential risks if safeguards don't come first.

Charles warned that AI falling into the wrong hands posed existential dangers and that safeguards were needed before it was too late. Safety work is lagging far behind how fast AI is developing, which is a growing concern.
